    the fact that he’s still orange, and hasn’t switched to a more natural shade of skin and leaves his ears and hair and eyes high contrastingly different… proves he’s an intentional clown… consciously being a nonsense distraction….

    Reminder, when they said make America great again their base might have thought 1950s Leave it to Beaver bullshit, but what they meant was the Gilded Age. And that seems right on track.

        Not really… Space travel is doing things without room to cut corners, it’s an enormous money hose in the short term due to government funding

        In the longer term, the first group to set up full manufacturing outside the gravity well wins capitalism forever. Oxygen is corrosive, gravity and air pressure are constraining. You can make whatever you want in insane quantities, no risk of pollution, dirt cheap resources (if you can make it work)

        The fact that billionaires aren’t putting more towards space flight exposes the lie of capitalism. Spaceflight would force us to learn how to live in our world without destroying it… It’s not the problem

        The problem is they want to do it and be paid for every step of the way. They don’t want to risk their fortunes to gain even more… They want us to do the work for them, to make them richer in comparison to the rest of us

      or maybe they mean combining North America and South America into Great America.
