Tangentially related: why do so many people call for a ceasefire, when a ceasefire is generally temporary. It wouldn't resolve any of the underlying reasons for the war. He should be calling for surrender.

Tangentially related question: Why do universities like Harvard (who has a ~$60bn endowment) get federal funding at all? Between tuition and donors are they not profitable?

This is insane. We have created the greatest tool in human history and people are complaining. I can use it to help me code, fix modeling issues as I learn CAD, help me troubleshoot the issues in my two-stroke leafblower engine and can cons

Because "looting the USA" is a ridiculous accusation agains someone who is became wealthy from creating genuinely great products. He spent everything he had on SpaceX and Tesla and came incredibly close to losing it all. He is not

It sounds like a bad job so they should work elsewhere. These are not slave labor camps.

So? I don't think you are really making an argument. $42 trillion created, and by those same accounting rules they got the share that they created. There net worth is just the stock value x number of shares they have. Their wealth is d

Can you explain how i am exploited? I use Amazon products daily (as do you), why shouldn't i be thankful to Bezos? He has made my life tangibly better. I really don't care how many shares of Amazon he has and what the current shar

Wealth is not a zero-sum game. Musk and Bezos have generated insane amounts of wealth for the American economy. They're not hoarding dollar bills in some vault like Scrooge McDuck lol.

Thank goodness for billionaires. There's a good case to be made that if it weren't for the likes of Musk and Bezos we'd still be stuck with the likes of ULA. They are literally pulling us into the future and i'm all for

As someone who sends their kids to private school for religious reasons, the idea of public school is wild to me. You have to send to a specific school based on location? Teacher's unions who strong arm schools into not being able to f

That's not true. They have drones that can drop multiple rpg warheads or grenades. Imagine a bunch of drones each with ten grenades dropping them over Times Square. I doubt there is anything the NYPD would be able to do.

This would be convincing if the pilots who captured the video didn't see it with their own eyes.

It's not hysteria if UFOs start showing up en-masse and then people start thinking everything in the sky is a UFO. It just means people are more likely to attribute lights in the night sky to this new phenomenon. Of course there will b

What? There are many recreational (small) drone rules with the FAA because they can harm people. A 6 foot drone falling hundreds of feet on someone is obviously a threat.
