  • Fuck, this is so bad. All of this for what? How many pounds of flesh from those slaughtered animals are already going to waste? Increasing line speeds may lower prices (at the cost of immigrant laborers and their injuries) but it will greatly increase waste. This is really such a travesty. The US has an immense gift in that it’s climate and terrain is fruitful enough feed us at great surplus, yet we are stuck in what is this rapacious saturation curve where exponentially more devastation is implemented to extract a comparatively tiny amount of benefit. Our society is going to be doing this until something breaks.
















  • He makes a lot of promises and gets a ton of government funding and pumps up his stocks. For example; the catchable booster is cool but it was not invented by him and his promises of giving boosters a turnaround of 24hrs or something is wildly absurd. Also, the Starship HLS has been delayed repeatedly and it was promised to carry thousands of pounds into space when it has repeatedly exploded while carrying no weight. These are just a couple of things and despite the failures, he continually wriggles out of consequences whilst pumping up stocks with bullshit.
