The extra stupid thing is that they’ll probably won’t save anything in the next 4 years anyways with how long timelines are for space planning. They’ll just waste an incredible amount of investment. This is just such petty and cruel retaliation against anything related to climate science.
They just enjoy smashing stuff others value for no reason.
Oh right… Elon gets rid of all the competition and space startups that rely on NASA outsourcing their rockets, while he maintains his contracts they go bankrupt. Holy shit.
So many terrible things are happening, people are overwhelmed and dazed and it’s hard to see what is Kakistocracy and what is Kleptocracy / disaster capitalism. It’s both and part of the strategy of course.
The only rational US news would be a call for revolution and overthrow of the regime. Any other news are therefor irrational and add to the confusion. Hence the confusion.
I bumped into some lady at a post office the other day and she was small-talk asking me about my participation in the election. (Canada)
I told her I have zero interest, and she looked at me shocked as though I had committed some great sin by disinvolving myself. She started to go into the spiel about how important it is to participate blah blah blah
I don’t know where it came from but the words seemed to gush just forth from somewhere that I… I can’t even identify. I showed no social grace and cut her of flat
“There’s no point in voting, the only hope is to wheel out the guillotines and murder the elite in the streets. And then immediately murder the next two batches of crooks-in-the-wings that take over”
She looked at me like I was a fucking lunatic. And I swear man, I watched her countenance change in but a flash…and I could see she came to agree with me, at least in a facial and body language sense.
Then she started to sputter excuses on how certain political parties are at least the better of two evils. It’s hard for people to not know what to say other than to repeat the scripts.
I just flatly said (and again it burst forth as though it had been rehearsed but it came from nowhere)
“I know R---- C---- personally, I’ve worked alongside her, and she’s just as big a piece of human scum as them all. A power- money-, glory- and career-advancing swindler, profiting handsomely off human misery”
“Oh I’m yeah but well… Then well yeah I guess they’re all in the pockets to some degr…”
I cut her off immediately - wouldn’t entertain that rubbish for another picosecond
“They aren’t in the pockets, they are the pockets and that’s the end of it.”
So yeah I’m thinking like until people start to figure out that we’re just circling the drain and we need complete and total overhaul, I don’t think anything’s going to happen. It’s just unfortunate that human rights, quality of life, human dignity is going to descend to extremely low levels before that happens. What a damned shame
The ones that talk all about social change are actually worse than the overt right-wing swindlers, because the right wing swindlers do it out in the open while the make-believe SJ vocalists are two-faced snakes that peddle virtue as their cover-story. The worst.
My worst fear in everything… Is that we are too far gone to go back. The capitalists have turned the human psyche into an algorithm with which they used to wring every molecule of productivity out of the slaves.
And the slaves love it. Heaps of cheap gewgaws, pulsing LEDs everywhere, flashing phones keeping em in an endless state of inner turmoil, which just fuels more mood-altering consumerism.

Pressuring aerospace industry. Endless corruption & greed.

Yep, I do not understand how people cannot see how obvious this corruption and wealth theft is

I feel all of that.

Yeah bro I think we’re done.
