You could always just fund the space agency you already have, instead of funneling money to a foreign billionaire.

No this the one time I’m with the commies. Nationalize that shit. Like you said it’s all taxpayer money anyway. A little bit of Wall Street speculation, but who gives a fuck about those people

So you wanna nationalize the whole telecom industry then?

Don't threaten me with a good time!

Well, now that you bring it up...

I fully agree. Any industry that can’t survive on its own and needs public funds, shouldn’t exist. If it’s an essential service it should be nationalized.

So you want Donald Trump in charge of the telecom industry and any other industries that have received some sort of public subsidy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, maybe we can nationalize them with the clause that it kicks in when his heart stops beating

This is the same mistake everyone makes. They think Donald Trump is just a person. That he actually matters and we just have to get rid of him and everything will be okay.

It doesn’t work that way.

As fascism didn’t die with Hitler, it’s not going to die with Trump. All of the problems — all of the rifts in our society — will still be there when he’s gone.

lol you really threatened Lemmy with a good time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

Yes please, maybe they'll fix the shit they've been getting paid for decades to fix finally.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, absolutely. And power too

[–] Fenrisulfir 5 points 15 hours ago

And pharma. And O&G
