THE ERA OF TRUMP

[Speaker to Animals]

A lot of people don't want to hear this, but the only viable way to get the fuck off warworld and develop space is via a fascistic alignment of corporations under the aegis of the American government. You have to use the resources and technologies available from all our high-tech corporations. They have to be organized and unified under one direction. You have to combine the capital of these corporations with the American treasury to bootstrap the economic development of space. From there, it should be able to fund itself to the detriment of the rest of the nations of the world as we slowly trickle in vast quantities of valuable resources, flooding markets, and almost overnight rendering entire national treasuries worthless as we flood gold and other precious metal markets to pay off our national debt.

Fascism in the past sucked. But I don't see how to solve this as Americans without doing something like that. China is going to do it similarly with their state-controlled quasi-capitalism organized under the aegis of the communist party.

He who mines that shit first wins.

And the US would "need" a "Benign Fascistic" government to do that? That's how you got to the Moon, is it? And you really want to take your lessons on how to organize your society from... China?

If US companies currently see no profit motive in going into the asteroid mining business, does your ideal Super-Government simply direct them to do so?

It wouldn't need to be a fascist government. But the idea of coordinating private corporations under government control to accomplish some good is a fascist one.

We didn't need to become communists to create the Social Security Administration either. Stop your virtue signaling.

Well, then that idea should certainly be entertained. Not that the Spanish inflation event was unreservedly beneficial to the Spanish, but you'd mostly benefit from it, and could probably even go on to have days where you don't pay tax like the Norwegians. Dependent on how those companies are going to be taxed, and what sort of ownership arrangements apply between government, companies and....uhmm...space? I heard no one can lay claim to the Moon, but what sort of "space law" would apply to the asteroid belt?

Oh, I don't need to signal my virtues, Buttercup. God loves me and thinks you're a fag.

Except you didn't. You started virtue signaling like a little faggot and then accused me of being a faggot. But you are a huge faggot. Now go babysit your sister's Muslim toddlers.

Awww.. Little StA goes wub-wub after I respond in kind to his own bullshit accusation. Can dish it, but can't take it, huh? Quelle surprise.

And I did entertain it, Little Daffodil. Not in the way you wanted to, perhaps, but why should I care about that? After all... here I am, trying my hardest to have a civil conversation about space mining with you.

Trump was right after all about the Obama administration wiretaps

Jonathan Turley again sums things up pretty well.

The redrum reference was good.

Hey, this thing was obvious from the get go. I can't believe there has been this much debate about IF this happened. Just based on what we already know about our governments access, communications storage infra and past practices we all should have said, sure he was 'wiretapped' (author addresses that nicely too). Then if you take into account BHO's history of spying on everyone from Congress, to Germany to Kasich to Sheryl Attkinson, you'd have to be fool not to understand from the start Trump was on the mark. The shock was Trump having the audacity to put it out there like he did.

I'm glad he did, we all get a lesson in government overreach and get to have the discussion about what our government is doing.

Trump pulled RyanCare, the monstrosity has been slain.

Just posted on that, thank goodness. Ryan can keep his turd. Props to Dems and GOP who opposed Obamacare Light. Now we need to pass that Health care competition bill, bring down rates.
