Thatโ€™s the thing, SpaceX is really good at rockets, I might argue, the best at it, and thatโ€™s why it makes more sense to have them replace SLS, with a combination of Falcon Heavy and Starship, then use the money saved to have those who are great at telescopes build a huge one.

If you take away billionaires, the money doesnโ€™t just go to the people, it disappears, along with lots of money held by non-billionaires, because at that point you have Communism, where no one is rich, no one has excess, except the political leaders.

Howโ€™s she going to do that? Just curious because sheโ€™ll most likely have the same powers as Biden, if elected. Does that mean Biden could do it too, but doesnโ€™t want to? Or is this going to end up being another โ€œAs soon as you give us a Supermajority, then we can do it!โ€.๐Ÿ˜’

Now if youโ€™ve got any of that deuterium rich water, Iโ€™ll take some of that stuff! I love a glass of heavy water after a hard workout.๐Ÿ˜‰

That would effectively be the largest tax increase on elderly and disabled Americans ever, since they mostly donโ€™t pay income taxes. So a 100% disabled military veteran would go from getting an untaxed disability payment, to 30%+ jump in the price of everything they buy.

Itโ€™s like if a local retail store paid Amazon to deliver their products to its customers. Youโ€™re basically hiring your competitor thatโ€™s putting you out of businessโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜ฌ I know we want competition, but SpaceX has the tech and volume thatโ€™s hard to overcome for anyone.

Then would you support police officers striking to end sanctuary cities? By allowing violent criminals to not be arrested, it puts their lives at risk, making their job more dangerous, so clearly a worthy cause. Maybe firefighters will join in solidarity.

My daughter started wearing my jacket I havenโ€™t used in forever and pulls a wad of wedding reception โ€œthank youโ€ cards I never mailed out. We just celebrated our 15th anniversary.๐Ÿคฃ Of course the first thing she does is tell mom.๐Ÿ˜’ At least they werenโ€™t from my 1st marriage.๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

150 starships for $4 billion? Wow, thatโ€™s less than $27 million a Starship! What a deal.๐Ÿ˜‰

I know, it was way better back in 1965, when we had actual Nazis just run the Space Program and the politicians didnโ€™t have any convictionsโ€ฆ mainly because they could drive off a bridge drunk, leave someone to die, and not even get a ticket.๐Ÿ˜‰

The problem is that many see any business owner as the bourgeoisie, even when many are there working right beside their employees, often making less that they do when you look at the hours put in. They turn it into us vs them, and push away those who could help solve the issues.

Well, at the end of the day not all tariffs are badโ€ฆ but itโ€™s not like this cost doesnโ€™t carry over to the consumer. Where tariffs are effective, is when it raises the end cost of an item, making a US made product more costs competitive. We, the consumers, do pay more though.

If you own a business you have to work long hours. If thereโ€™s no benefit in owning a business or starting a company, why would anyone do it? Having owned a business before, itโ€™s long hours, hard work and only the chance at success, nothing guaranteed.

Soโ€ฆ if everyone gets the same money, no matter what their job, education or time at work, why would anyone want to do hard jobs, go to school for years, perform dangerous jobs, or own a business that requires long hours and hard work? Well, unless they are forced tooโ€ฆ๐Ÿ‘€

Sometimes your calibers get cold in the winter time and these act as a nice warm blanket to hold that heat in and keep that chill away. Thatโ€™s good, right?๐Ÿ˜†

What they donโ€™t show you is the loser is then executed, squid game style, by whatever they lost with. This poor girl was killed with scissors. Itโ€™s also why very few choose to play paper, can you imagine the slow death youโ€™d have from paper cuts?๐Ÿฅบ

Itโ€™s kinda crazy that we can talk about a singular rocket these days and its personal history. It really is an inflection point for space launch.
