US Senators and congressmen are underpaid. Their salaries should be doubled. The president should make at least a $1 million a year, directly paid by taxpayers.

Reason: If I, the taxpayer, pay them, then they have to work for me. The payment makes that service relationship explicit. I pay you, you work for me. And, yes, the current pay is too little, $174,000 - barely comparable to tech workers.

Only taking $1 is an invitation for corruption. (Not claiming it happened, but it is an invitation.)

Buddy they already take your money and don't work for you.

Basically any opinion I have about capitalism. 🤷

SpaceX are making significant progress in rocket technology.

The perception that their rockets blow up all the time is due to their proximity to Elon Musk, the high amount of publicity their tests receive, & a healthy serving of confirmation bias.

SpaceX actually makes pretty good stuff. The sad thing is that Elon keeps trying to take credit for it even though it was the scientists, engineers and laborers who did the real work.

There should be no wars or conflicts of any kind anywhere whatsoever. Everyone should leave in peace and respect each other.

[-] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 10 points 11 months ago

I mean, our side is totally good with peace.

But by God(s), have you seen what The Other Guys(tm) are like? How could peace loving, respectable, and respectful abide while such villains attack/persecute/ridicule us?

It's not our fault; they made us do it.

We should invest massively in longevity. Healthy longevity, fighting aging.

Time doesn't slow down when you approach the speed of light and the theory we're using to describe much of the universe is based on a bad premise, that the speed of light is constant.

I don't care that I'm not as smart as einstein or that a lot of complex theories i also don't fully understand are validated by special and general relativity. I, an everyman, know better.

I'm right
