Elon decided on the fast fashion model for satellites. Launch them fast and frequent and trash space - it’s free!

What’s worse is that Elon’s design choice makes their lifespan much shorter than most satellites.

So within 3-5 years a large % of these satellites will become space junk

Instructions from the US Army for places US soldiers can get food from German food banks.

Instructions from the US Army for places US soldiers can get food from German food banks.

The US Army was telling active duty soldiers to get food from food banks in Germany. They removed it.

WE aren't socialist, but certainly willing to mooch off other nations socialist programs.

PATHETIC.

Beautifully said. Their actual job is to protect the status quo of society. Education. Is literally assessing the ideas that fit and benefit the status quo and can be sold to a wider audience. Makes you question is trained thought. Actionable skills don't translate out. Unless it's subversive quo.
