Human sacrifice went out of style some years ago, to the disappointment of some.
Dude says that space research and exploration needs to be free from ROI, then immediately posts that NASA needs better ROI.

Yes, we HAVE to get the cost per launch down so that we can actually take full advantage of the system. We do this primarily by increasing the flight rate
"I'm glad "Nationalize Starlink" is gaining acceptance."
Yes, it's very popular with the fascists.
"Your children are not yours to own or control."
No, they are ours to raise according to our best abilities. A level of control is required.
If the state decides that our "best abilities" are legally insufficient, they are free to take over (and pay all the bills).

First off, you're strawmanning my argument, second off, my argument still holds. Because that's still their choice. You can support your children's choices regardless of the consequences. If they're adults, their choices are theirs. Your children are not yours to own or control.
There is no parental distinguishing between good and bad choices, it seems.
Replying to @merlot_sk @EstrogenEden
You can't claim to love your children if you won't respect their choices, should they choose to make them. Or maybe I'm being too strict with that definition. But regardless of if you love your kids or not, you clearly don't respect them.
OK. New policy, here, folks.
If the poster parroting unsubstantiated paranoid claims is immature enough to use a cartoonish drawing as their picture, its a block.
"Iโm a trans woman who was sent to a conversion therapist weekly for 2 years, so I know exactly how this will be used."
No, you don't. You have a singular experience, and you cannot rationally use that to make any sort of credible assumption.
Can't help but notice that the Ukraineophiles never mention how **fucking stupid** a country has to be to have its military command and control dependent on a private service they don't control.
Saying for the gazillionth time:
When Congress loses focus on what's best for Main Street & instead focuses on punishing corporations or people they don't like (or classes of people, like "billionaires" or "the rich") Main Street is what suffers from that lack of focus.
Good to remember that it wasn't too long ago that a player (who was playing more games than they do today, barring injury - rest days are a recent development) who struck out 100 times in a season was viewed as a liability.
Jeter to Murphy...
โThe Brewers play baseball the right wayโ โฆ.
- Pat Murphy replies โฆ โGuys today donโt understand that!โ
We have gotten so far away from center as to what winning baseball is and looks likeโฆ the younger generationโs focus is on launch angle, spin rates, velocity and you only win by out slugging the opponent! Basicallyโฆ. Hit more HR than the other teamโฆ. Then pimp the HR.
Well eyes have been opened. They have to be. Itโs now a matter of โฆ if pride will keep the other orgs from following. If they doโฆ our game will skyrocket like never before.
It was literally the most beautiful baseball I have seen at the MLB level โฆ electric!

Yes, because competitive balance is still a problem.
(It's not an opinion; it's a math equation.)
"If the CEO of KFC stopped working tomorrow, the company would still make money."
For a time. But eventually, the lack of leadership would cause dysfunction at every level.
Entropy.
This is entirely laughable, considering virtually every society for which we have records discusses poverty as a problem.
Never let these people get close to political power.
