@EricTheUmpire Yeah I don't get it, I'd feel better about it if it was a rain making company, or some kind of Chinese firm without a website registered in the Caymans.
That's possible, but Amazon may just build their own thing. They've got Globalstar, plus launch, and a deal with Apple that they could grow.
I know their spectrum and partnerships are dwarfed by ASTS. I also know their resources dwarf ASTS's.
I think this is starting to look like a race to own the entire ecosystem of build/launch/provide service. Which is not bad for ASTS, they have the lead in important areas but they probably need partners with much deeper pockets to build out their own version of the total package.
@jockowillink you pay them until we can elect the right people who make the right changes. Rotting in jail for not paying taxes costs you everything and the corrupt people nothing. It's an emotional response and not a solution.
@mooseincrisis The carnivores/omnivores....top of the food chain got to pick first. Sorry man. Hey but on the bright side, other than bears and wolves there's not much that messes with you!
Take your kid swimming. If there's an issue, tell the coach, politely, to go f@$k himself. He is not their parent and he has no input on what they do outside of practice or their actual game. If someone thinks a youth sports coach gets an ounce of input into what you allow them to do before or after a game, or what they get to eat, or how and where they get to play with their friends, they need their head checked.
It's a sports league for children....not the MLB. You parent your kids, period. You're the one paying for this, not him.
Guy sounds like a tyrant and a douchebag.
It is a terrible precedent to let your children think you have ceded that kind of control over them to someone who is not their parent. Lots of bad things can happen when you set that dynamic.
meh, you're gonna piss off the people who think aliens are real and/or the USG has alien craft, and no one interested in doing a better job of enforcing immigration laws will really care. Seems like a cute idea among the interns but an adult should have said "If illegal immigration is a serious issue, and it is, then let's act like it's a serious problem and not some silly internet troll opportunity on X for a few hours".
