- drawkward 2y agoYour comment adds nothing to this discussion! Perhaps you shluld read up on the site's posting guidelines.
- willmadden 2y agoIt violates the guidelines as off-topic. Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- orwin 2y agoI mean, civil nuclear is the main topic that drew me to HN (that and cybersec), isn't this about civil nuclear safety? Or did I misread the article? Also, it reads like a Dilbert strip, which is pretty much on-tone with HN.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoNo, this isn't about civil nuclear safety. This is about the safety of nuclear weapons.
- drawkward 2y agoThe would suggest it is even more important a topic, no?

- dashundchen 2y agoHow is this propaganda? Please explain. The story is factual about what the government is doing and comes from a reputable source, corroborated by other journalists.
- talldayo 2y agoStrictly speaking anything can be demonized as propaganda by people that don't want to hear it. I don't love or hate Musk but this seems like a perfectly level-headed assessment of the issues with spending cuts at a federal level.
- timeon 2y agoCan you add content to your claim?
- JTyQZSnP3cQGa8B 2y agoAs a non-American, what's wrong about that article?
- willmadden 2y agoBecause it violates the guidelines? Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- dashundchen 2y agoI find it very interesting that oversight of nuclear power and weapons was gutted without thought. That's a serious public interest story. Try letting go of partisan emotions and viewing it in a non partisan light.
- insane_dreamer 2y agowell, lets see. These events are previously unheard of, and therefore "new", and a "phenomenon" due to their significant impact, which therefore makes them "interesting". So yeah, it fits. thanks to Musk, there's about one of these every day, thus the number of HN posts
