Normally I assume that privatization is always bad, but can you honestly look at Artemis, Orion, and the fucking Lunar Gateway and think, oh yes more of that please? Commercial space produced almost all successes of the past decade. (That said nationalizing Boeing might be an improvement, but then I’d worry about Lockheed buying America with America’s money.)

It's theft and graft, except it will be legitimized by the government and supreme court. And you'll never get it back, because that would be considered "nationalization" of private property. It was Putin's playbook after the collapse of the (orchestrated?) collapse of the Soviet Union - and they're apparently reusing it for the US as well. Oh, did I mention that Putin was democratically elected?
