what’s the difference between profit-taking of private companies for government companies, and naked corruption?
that’s not a joke, somebody please explain this to me.
They made it so SSA takes 100% of your check for overpayment instead of just 10% to cover overpayments to “Get the money back quicker and punish overpayments” (Even though overpayment is usually an error made by SSA, not the recipient)
It was 10% because leaving the applicant with enough money to survive is not only not cruel, it lowers the chances that the person will appeal and get one of those altruistic Pro-Bono Disability Lawyers involved (Many of whom are inspired to do so by being disabled and mistreated by the system themselves… met a few, all wonderful people)
They will now be FLOODED in appeals, so many that many will likely be approved without examination due to lacking the resources to review them all and not wanting to get a disability lawyer involved to drain more time and energy from understaffed overworked offices
What he’s done isn’t just cruel, it’s stupid and will have the opposite of the intended effect
and will have the opposite of the intended effect
Pretty sure the intended effect is the eventual collapse of the USA, so this is one little helpful piece amount many
You assume a non-complicit legal system.
No I assume an overworked system that cares more about lightening its workload than kissing Elon’s ring
It would be nice if that were true, but unfortunately the debris falls over populated Caribbean islands to the east.
“wasted” tax payer money means something different to musk, than normal people.
its a “waste” if its not lining his pockets
Man, I’d sure hate to be in those two stranded astronauts’ shoes!
Because they would have had to take the risk and come back in their leaky original vessel that made it home successfully?
Not sure if I prefer a leaky vessel or to depend on the whims of an orange turd and an insufferable man child. Maybe the leaky ship would’ve been safer.
Starship has nothing to do with the ISS crew. They’re coming back on the extremely reliable Dragon capsule that’s already up there.
The “rescue” mission already launched and docked during the Biden Administration.
Get out of here with your facts and objective reasoning! You’re supposed to say Fuck Elon
Both awful choices none of the astronauts should have to deal with.
To be fairer with the initial faulty ship, I’d say the difference in weight might have changed the odds of success.
Was this under a gov contract? I thought it’s commercial
SpaceX has been awarded 2.89 billion to develop starship into HLS. They have zero deliverables even though the first orbital flight was supposed to be 2021, cryogenic in orbit refueling in 2022… They’re supposed to be landing on the moon this year. They’re not even trying.
Starship’s development (and all of SpaceX, really) is being funded at least in part by government subsidies. They’re building it for NASA as their next manned vehicle platform.
nope, never. they might also have some small commercial contracts, but none of it works without government subsidies.
not wasted, invested in genocide and Trump Gaza!
