I understood it to be that seemingly Ayn-Randian heroes like Musk are standing on the shoulders of giants, giants being the State. Add to that the thesis that the same way Musk wants to keep SpaceX private to focus on the long-term, states

As do I, and that's why I understand the whole "generational white guilt" spiel, cause I hear it often. Even an educated person such as yourself will be quick to jump the gun. I get it, condemning their actions gives you the

Unless you are tarring ships, you mean paid, not payed. As an H1-B holder you have to jump through many hoops, including constant attention to your command of the language. How does it feel to be judged? :) More importantly, why would you e

All trains from London are direct to Europe, even if they are local. I find the wording and the idea behind it as stupid as the trouble in Lille due to not being part of Schengen. Signed: a Schengen national that hates and avoids lay-overs
