Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Efficiency-obsessed weirdos don't understand redundancies. All they see are inefficiencies, and think people can just make up for them in harder times by just "working harder", which for these weirdos just become a new baseline for even more cuts.
For a man who is obsessed with space travel and claims we need to go live on Mars. He doesn't understand how much redundancy is critical to survival in space.
Imagine a sci-fi spaceship... you are light-years away from civilization and any repairs. What if something goes wrong on your ship? Well? There had better be at least a half dozen back up systems to guarantee that you will survive instead of being fucked.
You cannot apply just-in-time supply chain logic to space travel. YOU WILL DIE!
No wonder SpaceX hasn't been able to get out of low-earth orbit.
His only obsession is social acceptance and adoration, he doesn't even want to go to Mars for whatever good it will do, he wants to go live somewhere where he's the defacto "owner" of the whole goddamn planet. So people will be trapped working for him. And so that everyone else thinks he's soooo cool for doing a space travel.
He isn't going to Mars at least. I was worried for a while he might pull it off, but I'd be shocked if it happens before he overdoses or dies of pathological levels of cringe and ignorance.
You give him too much credit for seeing inefficiency. It was simply “gov is too expensive. We need massive layoffs”.
I'd be shocked if he knew how the blockchain works.
@ZILtoid1991 @MicroWave the Tories did that to the NHS here and then we had a pandemic.
