Most don’t understand the depths of elons grift. Overpromise and under deliver. Land a rocket and they’ll dump money at your feet.
Also remember that unrealized gains are really gains unless you want to use them as collateral.

Reduce the costs of delivering something by over 90% and they will 'dump money at your feet'.
The people who can't see value in that are the kind of people who think having the government pay over $200,000 to run broadband cables to a house in the sticks is a good use of taxpayer money.
We need less of those people in government, and more people like Elon.

As Citigroup outlined in a 2022 research note, NASA Launch costs dropped significantly from over $100,000/kg in the mid-1960s to around $5,400/kg for the Saturn V used in the Apollo launches starting in 1967. After the Apollo 11 lunar landing, the average launch cost remained relatively stable for decades, averaging about $16,000/kg for medium/heavy payloads and about $30,000/kg for light payloads. This was due to factors such as the use of existing launch systems, reduced number of launches, high reliability requirements for human spaceflight, and a government-funded spending culture. Bottom line: There simply wasn’t much innovation or financial motivation to be innovative.

Then came SpaceX, which pioneered lower launch costs with the Falcon 9 in 2010 ($2,500/kg) and Falcon Heavy in 2018 ($1,500/kg) that are 30 times lower than NASA’s Space Shuttle in 1981 and 11 times lower than the average launch costs from 1970 to 2010, according to Citi.

Trump: We require commitment from BRICS countries to neither create a new currency nor back any other currency, or they will face 100% tariffs

It's not the Chinese. The brics wants it's own Currency to replace the dollar in trades, especially oil. Trump is right.
Problem they have is none of them actually trust each other to not cheat a new fiat currency the way the US does.

Why would China sign onto a currency that South Africa or Russia can print, in the famous words of Ben Bernanke, 'willy-nilly'?

If they went together on a gold backed currency the dollar's reserve status would be toast, but they want to be able to print money for domestic political reasons (always easier than taxing) that I don't expect them to give up.

USD will remain the 'least dirty shirt' among the fiat currencies. A new fiat currency from the BRICS would just register somewhere on the list of debasement between the dollar and the Bolivar.

Joe pardons Hunter


No. the D’s are shit. The R’s had nothing to do with it.

The Biden family is scum. Benefited from years of political influence for personal gain. Four years of divisive, insensible leadership and his legacy is destined for the dung heap of history. No surprise here.

Looks shady as fuk

Hunters crimes were decidedly worse than Trumps clerical campaign crimes by almost any measure. Yet one gets a pardon.

The thing that stinks about this is that the one and only reason Hunter gets a pardon is he's family. Not because he was wrongly prosecuted or sentenced. Not because he was wrongly convicted. Not because the sentence was out of proportion to the crime. Because he's Joes son. All after Biden said he wouldn't do it.

There are clearly different standards for crimes depending on who you know or who you are.

Disgusting. They are exactly who they claim their opposition to be. Every. single. time. Thankfully America is waking up to this bull shit.
Oh look! The coup supporters who think the apes who stormed the capital did nothing wrong, and voted for their poop-throwing, fellow dumbass for POTUS are shedding crocodile tears over the law. LOL! MAGAts are such stupid scumbags.
