They should not be considered "astronauts" just for spending ten minutes in the upper atmosphere.
We should honor real astronauts who went through a highly selective process, not these wealthy women who didn't. (NASA’s 2021 class had 12,000 applicants for 10 spots.)

The idea of a minimum wage looks pretty obtuse in the absence of a “maximum wage” doesn’t it? 🤔
