@skykiss We’ve also learned that some on the court are for sale to certain billionaires. *cough* Thomas…
@carnage4life These companies are doing extremely well and they’re cutting salaries. Bet they’re not cutting executive pay though.
@ksclarke Thank you. Reminds me of my grandpa even if he wasn’t all that quiet. Hah. But he was a good man, and I was grateful for the chance to tell him so near the end.
@ProfundumPhoto @skykiss All I know is that if I had to choose between chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, and Donald Trump, well, I wouldn’t pick Trump.
Banning renewable energy projects is one of the stupidest, most self-destructive things I can imagine, but it’s happening all over the US. While I expected some red states and counties, Vermont and Connecticut have also effectively banned new wind projects. It’s madness. Shame on them, especially states that claim to be green and do that. https://www.usatoday.com/story/graphics/2024/02/27/renewable-energy-sources-ban-map/72630315007/
Ukraine remains critically short of artillery shells and other supplies as Russia advances. Why? The US Republican Party. https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/17/europe/avdiivka-ukraine-russia-intl/index.html
@DemocracyMattersALot So if this story has a true about Russia using Starlink comms, why hasn’t Musk’s company cut them off?
@DemocracyMattersALot Starlink can cut off service in an area at will. They did so early in the war when Ukraine tried to use them to aid in launching an attack on the Russian fleet in Crimea. https://apnews.com/article/spacex-ukraine-starlink-russia-air-force-fde93d9a69d7dbd1326022ecfdbc53c2
Elon Musk's refusal to have Starlink support Ukraine attack in Crimea raises questions for Pentagon
SpaceX founder Elon Musk’s refusal to allow Ukraine to use Starlink internet services to launch a surprise attack on Russian forces in Crimea last September has raised questions for the Pentagon. The Air Force's top civilian leader, Frank Kendall, says the military may need to be more explicit in future defense contracts that services or products it purchases could be used in war. Excerpts of a new biography of Musk published by The Washington Post last week revealed that the Ukrainians in September 2022 had asked for the Starlink support to attack Russian naval vessels based at the Crimean port of Sevastopol. Musk had refused due to concerns that Russia would launch a nuclear attack in response.
