@cloudhop That's not what I mean. I mean that they're using spectacle to keep people from demanding better. I know we could afford both. I'm mad that when they picked one, they picked the one that mainly helps themselves.
@cloudhop I'm one of those people. I don't want to be told to wait for the moon. I want to be able to afford groceries again.
@cloudhop You're not wrong. I'm just mad about the spectacle and the "we all did this" aspect of it.
Oh, I was wrong, it wasn't 4.1 billion. That was just construction. GAO projects it's gonna be 105 billion by the time all is said and done. Cost is still rising, even though the mission is over. Imagine what a stimulus check that could have been but we had to take a lap around the moon instead. Fuck this.
4.1 billion dollars to let a handful of people run a lap around the moon. While millions can't afford their bills? Why the fuck was everyone so excited about that? I'm glad I skipped watching it. This was not "our" victory. This was rich people putting on a show to keep us "united" (quiet).
Saw an ad where someone was making pizza and it had an under-glass shot of the sauce being spread, and all I can think about is Spider-Man geeks whining that there's no space between the sauce and the crust for a camera. XD
