It’s a grift! Contracts will be given to shell companies owned by cronies and billions will flow for nothing.
Nobody is building big battleships. Battleships are quite literally obsolete. Trump is just being Trump—I'd bet that that abomination of a ship won't see a single day of a naval yard, never mind being cancelled.

The tragedy of Rob and Michelle’s deaths are incomprehensible.
I’m hearing Rob’s voice telling us all to do more, to repair the human soul, to repair our hearts, to repair our country, to repair our world, to keep fighting, to keep living for every soul taken from this earth.

Here's Ellen Harding Baker's "Solar System" quilt.🧪
This is the story.🔭
Back in 1876, an Iowa mom with 7 kids, E. H. Baker, decided that cooking & raising children wasn’t enough for her.
She started working on a wool quilt showing the solar system.

These ridiculous mega-projects like "datacenters in space" (doomed by thermodynamics) make a LOT more sense when you realize they're massive Ponzi schemes designed to transfer wealth from pension funds to VC's through "fee stacking."
It's the old Assets Under Management con. It should be illegal.

Elon Musk’s anti-woke version of Wikipedia, Grokipedia, cites neo-Nazi forums in multiple places as source.
A great validation of the notion that when people say they’re anti-woke, they just mean they’re hyper racist.
