I can’t for practical purposes leave I’m poor and my wife is disabled

This is an argument for giving them less money not spacex more. A huge swarm of LEO comsats that must be constantly replaced is a poor idea compared to fiber + 5G towers for most environments. The latter is much much cheaper.

So the thing about these is they always work unless you physically damage it in a completely obvious way and then you get another $5 adapter. You know unlike figuring out how to make your phone talk to a stupid car.

Defrauding the government for things you cannot possibly provide isn’t really showing your companies quality. Apple actually makes things people use and makes a ton of money doing it. Elon makes bad cars and spaceships that blow up a LOT. Neither of these is actually profitable without welfare. He is good at high stakes welfare fraud whilst Apple is good at actually earning money.

Yes I use a leash with a harness. If not acclimated to this young it may be difficult.

The government is legally allowed to make that judgement. Satellite internet is a tremendously dumb way to provide rural internet.

For the record: Why did you lie about them hitting their milestones on the NASA contract?

It was rescinded because there was no reason to believe at point of rescission that it was possible to meet the benchmarks. To simplify if you intend to drive 1000 miles in 5 days and on day 3 you are 200 miles in there is no reason to believe you can meet the deadline.

I take him around our neighborhood and to the park. He especially loves the park at night because he can hunt the little bugs or try to find and track the other animals. He’s found out where some rats live and some racoons. I don’t let him actually tangle with either for obvious reasons.

I wish I could upvote this about a dozen times well said.

Basically healthcare is free at point of service in the majority of the most functional and healthy societies. It’s not infinite and its rationed by need as opposed to being rationed according to who has the most money. This is ultimately a more valid solution to finite resources than our over complicated system which hands half the money to middle men in the name of managing it.

Nobody is interested in your fake conversations with possibly imaginary people that represent a conveniently perfect caricature of the opposing positions when you have actual people with nuanced positions here.

Its planning on getting a massive welfare infusion for a fake missile defense system it will never be able to make work while the government it now half owns is planning on tariffing most of the leading brands of cars. Meanwhile the only inherently profitable thing it actually does which is to say make cars its doing very poorly at.

Apple is doing incredibly well at selling phones and computers but the Trump administration is not only threatening to tariff stuff made overseas they specifically threatened to tariff iPhones specifically.

So in brief Apple stock is going down despite being great at its business whilst Tesla is on its way back up even as people won’t buy their cars. Its just corruption.

Industrial civilization pre-dated me and my cat being from a shelter would have come into being without me. We all do what we can with what control we can. My cat is too stupid to protect himself because he doesn’t understand the risk of cars and not speaking english it’s difficult to teach him. Instead I choose to explore the outdoors with him instead of letting him roam and almost certainly get lost or killed because I’m not a moron and I don’t let my cat wander around a city.

Cats can live 20 years but most wont make it more than 3 outside because their instincts are ill suited for the circumstances.

literally everyone has agency.

Yes buddy I did adopt from the shelter I was volunteering at. In order to adopt you have to agree that the cat will not be allowed to roam outdoors because they don’t want to adopt to morons.

This happened and our cat was actually in the space between the screen door and the exterior door. Also sleeping in the closet

I do <insert bad thing> already so I don’t need to avoid doing <insert other bad thing> because I already do <bad thing> even though the nature of my effect on the world is the sum of my behavior and I’m really bad at logic.

So I live in an apartment which by virtue of going up uses far less space, I keep my cats indoors and take them on walks outside, and I didn’t create a bunch of kids and instead chose to raise one that already existed. You can always do more.

You can use netting to keep them off or your garden or just grow enough to have enough after they need or both
