SpaceX also slips their hands into taxpayer pockets.

My question: Should the government stop using tax dollars for space programs that financially benefit corporations? Why not tell the corporations to fund their own missions?

Corrupt men have an easy time exploiting a people who are outside of God's will, because His favor and protection is lifted from them.

I have a financial advisor who I just did a checkin with. They asked if I had any questions. Basically I told them to make me money for my retirement but absolutely no stock in #Tesla, #SpaceX, #NVIDIA, or any #AI company. I'd rather be under what I need to retire then to support these shit companies.
