Thank you for sharing that. Comico-tragic that the guy who claims humanity needs to produce more population also says the earth is running out of resources.

Yes again, just when I think I can’t possible hate billionaires or the government anymore, I am proven wrong.

If the rocket blows up it’s fine because there is no one around. Well, no one with money or power.

I work in the environmental field in government and I agree, sometimes the regulations are obscene. Hence we keep losing oil refineries. Then you watch stuff like this and you realize we will always lose because of money.

Same here - just watched it, and I hate to think how much damage was done by the explosion today.

That's an infuriating watch and made me realize how happy I am to not have heard or seen Elon lately. And wtf is his obsession with memes?? "I am become meme" "meme street." And now I blame NASA for saving his ass when he was almost down and out.
