    Fuck Elon Musk, Fuck Privatized Flight Control, Fuck the entire Trump Admin

    But in all fairness, they’re intentionally trying to build rockets with cheaper materials, them blowing up is expected for a very long time going forward, and is definitely worth it in the long run. If somebody like Blue Origin were in charge, the fucking Natural Gas rocket company, that would be much worse.





  • Dems have always been incredibly helpful.

    From 2002 to 2010 they removed money from politics, until Citizens United SCOTUS decision took that away from us. Changing it would require a 60 senate supermajority for constitutional amendment, or 60 majority to reform the SCOTUS.

    Dems gave us the ACA with protections for preexisting conditions and expanded Medicaid and Chip to cover 79 Million Americans currently. If we gave them the 60 supermajority without caucusing independent Joe Lieberman, or maybe even with caucus for more than only 72 days, they would have given us Public Option which would be so cheap that private insurance firms couldn’t even compete at all, effectively singlepayer.

    Dems gave us green infrastructure and forest protections, investing in solar and EVs.

    If we had elected Dems in 2016 or 2024 they’d be writing the tax laws, too.

    The Dem president Joe Biden increased the sick leave coverage for class 1 freight workers from 5% to over 90% if not 100% over the course of his term.

    If you ever expect any of that shit from Republicans, you’re an idiot.
