One thing that never gets mentioned in the "manufacturing costs are high in the US" discussion is that we're all underpaid here.
We're coerced into choosing the lesser-cost-item-from-overseas because we can't afford a $180 shirt over a $30 one because we're all underpaid.

A useful take on the Drake Equation is that our planet's favorability to life is rare and special and we need to care more for it.
I have a PhD in astrophysics and I 100% agree with the absurdity of suggesting Mars is a decent backup plan. Great quote from the linked article laying this out by @adambecker.bsky.social

Are there other musical artists who put out relevant and good music in the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s?
David Bowie is the only other contender that really comes to mind.

The lack of accountability for anybody with money or power starts with pardoning Nixon and has only expanded.
I really wish world leaders had been prosecuted for the invasion of Iraq, I think the world would be an immeasurably better place if there had been consequences

They tried and failed to push Mr. LaBeef (in the one with the aliens) and that British lady (in the one with the time travel) into being the "new Indy" and it just didn't work.
could you get someone else to do an awesome adventure series that’s a different spin on Indy? probably

the thing about the tates and trump and musk is that what they offer is the illusion of control and dominance and mastery. in truth, they are absolute slaves to their passions and their worst instincts, and they have paid for it in that they are literal degenerates
