The identity of a system is established when we choose it's bounds. System bounds are structurally fuzzy. Actors have a degree of being a member of the system as a lower system in hierarchy themselves, and the system has a degree of being a member and an actor of a higher system in hierarchy.

@amitylee13 Been screaming this

Supposedly conservative but H.R. 645 has been sitting there

Even worse is that H.R. 25 has been sitting there too but I haven't even heard a peep from anyone

@Math_files What the fuck? They just going to pretend QGP doesn't exist?

You literally couldn't be bothered to do research. "Government funding" in the case of SpaceX is government contracts which is payment for services rendered that they competed for because they have both the best and most cost efficient product. They also took out an early loan that was paid back entirely, if you're counting that. Equating that to welfare is absolutely idiotic because the government has a need for space services.

[Nox @noxidium]

@Tony_Schultz_ @KCAtTheBallot @timburchett @elonmusk I gathered as much. Most people have zero clue why the government even gave SpaceX those contracts. Literally the most competitive space company on earth and it's not even close.

[Nox @noxidium]

@KCAtTheBallot @timburchett @elonmusk You realize contracting with SpaceX has saved them a shit load of money? The reason he got them is by competing and solving major problems they couldn't.

[Nox @noxidium]

@Math_files Not really, it's just cardinal equivalence.

[Nox @noxidium]

@KCAtTheBallot @timburchett @elonmusk Let me get this straight: you want the U.S. to abandon launching things like satellites, cargo runs, and crew runs and let our foreign adversaries dominate space? You can't be serious.

[Nox @noxidium]

@KCAtTheBallot @timburchett @elonmusk They literally give SpaceX money for services that we need. Do you have any idea the impact of leaving our lead in the space industry?

[Nox @noxidium]

@KCAtTheBallot @timburchett @elonmusk You suggest the government stop investing in space companies? Do explain.

@mplpodcast305 What you were was quite possibly the most annoying noise I've ever had the unfortunate displeasure of listening to and on a show that roleplays a debating platform.

@IntCyberDigest Seconded on Jira, it's a serious threat to the sanity and productivity of millions of otherwise productive workers.

[Nox @noxidium]

@heykizuna Yes, bearing a false witness to a crime should result in imprisonment.

@LouisCKfanpage You must have been doing those calculations by banging your head on a wall per tally.

That's a presupposition, because no one with a straight face said wealthy spending capital at all.

That's his net worth, not the capital he's spending. There is worth in shares of companies, that he can leverage for growth for productivity.

Mischaracterizations don't produce healthy debates, please don't do them.

On a side note, the latter isn't correct and it's an absurd belief. Governments are reliable in so far that they reliably cannot produce prosperity as well as free markets. They're good at infrastructure, they're good at defense, but they're terrible at wealth mobility.
