Live public demos are a signal of strength, not of weakness. The only way you can know the demo is real is if it fails at least occasionally.
- autoexec 2y agoWe've been showing a concerning amount of weakness lately. The government is in total chaos, we have navy planes and helicopters falling out of the sky, a navy aircraft carrier even managed to plow into another ship, inflation is out of control, we've got mystery drones in the sky, we're incapable of manufacturing and are almost totally dependent on china who also hacks the shit out of us, over half the population reads below a 6th grade level and our nation's science literacy is even worse, we can't get our own Astronauts off the ISS, and the population is suffering under record levels of household debt and homelessness. I expect to start seeing a lot more articles giving "signals of strength" to try and offset the many signs of weakness and failure which have been painting a target on us.
