What people seem to be missing is the precedent this would set. It’s all well and good when we empower the office of the president to seize a private company we don’t like, but after we give them that power what’s to stop them from seizing other businesses?
XYZ company refuses to get rid of their DEI policy because the shareholders voted to keep it? Well now the orange man can seize it.
The problem they don't see is that once a precedent is set, also the other party can do it. What you point out is valid also like "XYZ company refuses to establish a DEI policy because the shareholders voted agains ? Well not the democratic president can seize it".
Let’s not forget that previously it took 2/3rd majority to confirm presidential appointments, but the Senate under Obama decided to change that rule to 50% to get past Republican objections. The result of this is all these shit appointments Trump has passed with 51% of the Senate, none of them would have gotten by if the Democrats hadn’t made a precedent for changing the rules.
Tipical case of not looking beyond one's nose
Right. Now go back to live in a cave.
I don't think that the US currently can go back to the times when Kennedy announced that in 10 years they will put a man on the moon, by a long shot.
To have someone in power that give a shit about science, you need a revolution to wipe out the current political class and radically change the mentality of the population.
Who doesn’t hate Musk these days?
Probably the ones that don't always speak about him
He’s pissed of everyone except the ones who want to be ruled by a technobro king.
No, he pissed off everyone that think that the world is black and white: the US. The rest of the world is indifferent about him
I would suggest that maybe you should leave SpaceX alone, if you want to still have a space program.
Maybe think about to nationalize healthcare insurance, it seems to be something more usefull
Yes, but don"t say it to Musk's haters...
Yet some people are able to not buy shit just because they see it on a site, so maybe not everyone is like you say
It would be nice but I think it is not really possible. Too many difference in the laws I suppose.
A contact lens would gain a lot of situational awareness and mobility.
Seeing what happen to my wife eyes (that use contact lens) when even the smallest dirt gets in her eyes, I would say that in a open combat zone the googles seems to be way more effective.
Maybe the best compromise would something like a simple sunglasses, the same as the glasses that filter the blue light.
They were on IRC before and on a number of other chats systems before that.
They will move as soon as something better will come out, for various definitions of better
To compete even worse
