Social Security: 22% Interest on the Debt: 14% Medicaid: 14% Medicare: 14% National Defense: 13%

That's 77% of the budget in those categories.

Everything else is 23%. The Federal deficit is ~25% of receipts.

You could cut each and every function of the government other than the above and still be left with a deficit. And there isn't a lot of room to cut everything else, as they've already been squeezed for decades.

Wow, that's actually quite a lot. You can also just say "sort 3rd col nix."

The obvious choice that everyone uses is aluminum, or various alloys, like aluminum-lithium.

Now, it's true enough that he didn't literally _build_ these things. He is the CEO. Steve Jobs didn't build the iPhone.

But these programs are very obviously shaped by Musk to a large degree.

There should be no elected school board, transit districts, utility boards, assessors, sheriff, and so much more. No one is properly informed about candidates for these positions.

For that matter, the Board of Supervisors should have no power other than oversight and impeachment. The Mayor should basically be a local dictator, with the power to do anything the State authorizes the municipality to do, at their sole discretion, with the oversight of an elected board.

Of course, the oxygenated atmosphere only exists due to life. Otherwise, it would just rapidly oxidize everything else.

Would need a solar farm with about 50x-100x the land area.

The ideological framing of the degrowth movement is all around us.

It's not totally broken, it shows the first frame of the image, there's just no indication at all that the image is actually meant to be a video, there is no play control, and it just looks like a static image.

It's scary that people are taking these hallucinations as some sort of reasoned fact, or important opinion.

Except this isn't the new FSD stack, it's the old one.

It's a fair criticism of the current offering, but it's not much evidence against a future robotaxi.

However, before that, a Starship will be launched into LEO. There will then be something like 17 (the actual number is not clear, but it is a lot) Starship tankers that will launch to re-fuel the original Starship.

The Starship then does a Trans Lunar Injection. The Orion docks with the Lunar Gateway, Starship docks with the Lunar Gateway, the astronauts transition to Starship, which does a propulsive landing on the moon.
