another successful starship launch

Lol, that would imply that they’re has been any successful launch before

Like healthcare, education and open source tech is a good pairing, as long as the tech adds, not replaces

I’m trying to build a setup with a VPN

I don’t want the 1% dead either

I want wealth caps that simply caps the maximum net worth a person can have to a reasonable value, say 10 million or so. Any Income above that goes straight to taxes and done

This way we’re all more or less the same

I depended on a closed source provider and got fucked over by them

Really now? But that never happens!

Meanwhile here in Canada, medical data is happily stored on Microsoft cloud services

What’s the word that could happen?

It’s just a way to pressure dumbass politicians into agreeing to give them the money.

It’s all tactics

EPA promises immediate investigation

You mean the oil exec Cheeto lackey that got put in place as the director of the EPA, that EPA? He will have it investigated and the results will be that meta isn’t doing anything wrong

Oh god… Star Trek just got… I dont even know how to describe what had been done to it.

Basically star Trek died after ST: Enterprise

Anything after that was vapid shitty pew pew cgi flare fest sci-fi, and the Picard series ruined TNG for me for years. I used to watch ST at least a few times per week, DS9, TNG, mostly. After ST :Picard i stopped. I couldn’t anymore, it was ruined for so fucking long

But there was a small ray of light, though

Watch “The Orville”, it’s made by Seth McFarlane after he rejected what the execs wanted for star Trek. It’s basically TNG updated for the 2020s and the first two seasons are amazing and have a BOBW episode, even, and hell, even a “family” type episode after. Seriously, it looks and feels like modern TNG, has great episodes like TNG used to have. The third season kinda went the pew pew direction as well, very few very long episodes where the good writing got replaced with loads of CGI, but it’s still doable.

There isn’t a fourth season, yet, anyway, but Seth recently said he is finishing writing the fourth season, let’s see what happens

Those first two seasons though, are star Trek magic, the Orville magic

You don’t say!

And it even mentioned the hot air balloon Tesla which is overvalued by at least a factor of 10 of not 100

I’ve been saying this for years already; all Elmo Musk companies are bullshit companies

SpaceX got 3 billion dollars to get the US to the moon. They burned through that and got zero results. Those shit starship rockets barely reach LEO empty, and they never got any of the other hardware ready. If I do that, I’d go to jail for theft or something, but here? Meh…

Repeat after me: Elmo Musk is a command, every word out of his mouth is a lie, and that is how he got rich. Well, Lucky with rich parents, lucky with a company buy out, and lying lying lying

I got that on my list.

I need to make a post here soon as well about my setup, I guess

Filing for IPO these days is just the same as having a live hand grenade in your hands and trying to sell that as quickly as possible to a nice group of people

Does anyone else feel irritated when deeply religious people

Yes

Chemetco and its senior officers became involved in multiple federal investigations during the 1990s. In 1992, the Federal Election Commission found that Chemetco, as well as its company president, John M. Suarez, and associate José Bóveda, arranged unlawful corporate and foreign campaign contributions affecting the U.S presidential primary in Missouri. The FEC’s General Counsel described the payments as “clearly laundered money,” and evidenced that funds were routed through entities owned by Chemetco and a Belgian holding company.[1] Suarez took over ownership of the company the following year.[1]

In 1996, an inspector from the Illinois EPA discovered a concealed 10-inch pipe discharging heavy metals from the smelter into wetlands connected to the Mississippi River. The finding led to a joint investigation by the U.S EPA, FBI, and Illinois State Police, leading to federal indictments against the company and its chief officer, Denis L. Feron, who owned parent company Metallo Chimique. Prosecution and conviction followed, for conspiracy and felony violations of the Clean Water Act. After Chemetco entered a nolo contendere (“no contest”) plea, the company was fined $3.8 million, then ceased operations in 2001, following Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

The case established legal precedent when the Seventh Circuit held in United States v. Chemetco, Inc. that the number of violation days is a sentencing factor for judges, rather than a matter for a jury. Atmospheric modeling later identified Chemetco as one of the largest individual North American sources of dioxins in the Arctic, including measurable fallout in Nunavut, Canada.[2] Federal investigations also documented extensive worker exposure to health problems including chronic beryllium disease and hazards such as widespread lead overexposure.[3]

The former Chemetco site was made a Superfund cleanup project in 2010 and remains under oversight by the EPA. Remediation continues to address contaminated soils, slag, and hazardous waste; at the same time, ongoing litigation involves numerous Potentially Responsible Parties including Fortune 500 companies.

And of course there is nothing about the entire C suite being jailed for this…

How many people died because of this? How many have gotten sick? If I poison a person, I go to jail because doh. If I poison 10 million people, I get a few million dollars in fines

I hate this world.

If this Tesla pipeline is true, I want investigated who knew about it, who came up with the idea, who signed off on it, who implemented it, who dug it, and I want ALL of them jailed after Tesla being fined into bankruptcy over this so that there is a huge cleanup fund available. Being the narcissistic asshole that he is, I feel free to assume Elmo musk knew about it or probably came up with the idea in the first place. Fuck all of these people

1 I don’t know 2 it is not

That… Is insane

We too have tights, y’know, like the right to starve out employees, the right to overwork our employees, the right to hold slaves…

Too soon?

I believe the French got there once and they managed to solve the issue

I really wouldn’t want to get to that point and I honestly don’t really understand why the rich class just continues this course because I do believe it’s playing with fire at this point

Nobody wants that, but it still beats working 09:00 - 21:00

He is a global terrorist, the worst we currently have, but since he’s the head of the nation that still thinks there a super power, all we can do is wait for that entire fucking nation to finally crumble or that Cheeto to have an aneurysm, after which that ex-empire will sink like a cake that imploded in the oven

And open the door to thousands different atrocities committed by thousands of different people

I feel you’re very optimistic if you think that single key people made all the difference in the world and that without them, no other key people would have stepped up
