And yet the US President didn't even congratulate the first private spacewalk ever in the world recently accomplished by an American company, for purely political reasons. So sad to see.
- __m 2y agoWhy would the government congratulate a private company?
- ivewonyoung 2y agoBecause it's an American accomplishment? For example here is Biden congratulating GM's Mary Barra as the leader and innovator of EVs after not inviting Tesla to an EV summit in 2021. https://youtube.com/watch?v=UduPjk9gonw https://youtube.com/watch?v=UduPjk9gonw Tesla produced about 200k EVs that quarter and GM produced just 26. Unions donate a lot so they have a lot of sway and control.
- bastawhiz 2y agoI'm not sure that's really an accomplishment that will inspire kids.
