Sorry, a prototype isn’t even close to pulling ahead of in a race where there’s an entity that has routinely been breaking records for numbers of launches each year, and has multiple available formats for doing so, including manned flights to actual space, not just up to the edge. No.

And New Glenn is more equivalent to the already tried and tested Falcon Heavy, while there’s an even bigger, and already flight tested Starship prototype that’s already outclasses it. New Glenn succeeding would effectively be it competing for second at best-years later.

It’s being phrased as an ROI per employee “asset”, not as compensation per actual employee.

Gabe is pocketing most of this.

This is just “tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound” but less concise.

and can see polarized light

So can we. It’s also like to point out that seeing polarized light is different from being able to tell that it is polarized. Which we can still do, just not as well

That’s a different argument entirely from “no possible benefit”, though

Nft didn’t fail, it was just the idiotic selling of jogs for obscene amounts that crashed (most of that was likely money laundering anyway). The tech still has a use.

Wouldn’t exactly call crypto a failure, either, when we’re in the midst of another bull run.

The debt limit was an invention in WW2 to allow the executive branch to change spending priorities for the war without needing to push a new budget through Congress each time. The intent was to give the executive branch more flexibility, within limits, NOT to hold the entire government hostage.

The limit literally prevents US paying its debts, not enforce paying them.
