Same reason they're not talking about the fact that they're used for military as well as civilian data, making them strategic targets for any attack, and when hit they go up in a toxic, 1800 degree f, 2-mile perimeter evacuation, Wildberries-like conflagration. They're making money building them.

He's the poster boy for this basic reality of human existence:

So is this

A woman who can see the world as it is might shake her head, might point the shortcomings out to others and say "look, what you want, what is ideal, is a good goal but can't be done quite yet" is a realist, not miserable. It's the "wisdom to know the difference" part of finding and keeping serenity.

You know who else was NOT better off in the 1950s? CEOs. I grew up in the 50s. Almost every dad in my neighborhood was Union. Home ownership % was high. Good retirement plans. Vacation to National Parks in summer. College funds. . This chart only goes to the 70s but see where all the $ has gone?

Medicaid, food stamps, all other "safety net" programs are corporate subsidies in disguise, except in the cases of old age, disability, or survivors of the death of a family wage earner - all things Social Security (OASDI) was intended to cover.

Actually the top 1000 seem pretty taxable. The logic is simple anyway: if your nation needed water, would you lead them to the desert? Or to the Great Lakes? So if your nation needs money, why would you keep looking to the people who already have none to spare?

This proposed plan came out soon after Kushner met with Netanyahu in 2017-18. Plans are to connect Gaza via hi-speed rail to MBS' new city of Neom on the Red Sea. More playgrounds for the ultra-rich. Lots of crappy service jobs for the hungry displaced.

The success of the US economy in the 20th century was because THIS GUY changed the rules with his New Deal, creating the world's largest middle class. The simple truth is that it's sales that create jobs, not tax cuts, and you create a lot more jobs building 10 million Fords than 10,000 Bentleys.

It's spectacular with or without help. Here's the difference between the original Hubbell telescope optical photo (on the left side) vs enhanced with infrared light. Who knows what perception values we still lack, and what we still can't see?

Kinda funny they went to so much effort to make them look like "regular glasses". They look like glasses drawn on a cartoon with one of Trump's Sharpies. They'd be better off just going full Star Trek, like these glasses look different because they ARE different. Just nip the mockery in the bud.

Might be the red hat
