You actually have a greater need for efficiency under socialism because there are fewer people willing to put in the long hours at work.
[...]
Also the argument that we should be empathetic about them losing their jobs makes zero sense under socialism. The state will simply assign them new jobs.

People won't work long hours under socialism, but people will work whatever jobs they are assigned under socialism? You're going to have to pick one if you don't want people to know that you aren't actually thinking.

"I don't care about Direct File. I care about direct audit for poor people", Fixed your quote for you Bill.

For or against? Because poor(er) people probably don't make (or fake) enough to warrant an audit. On the other hand, very rich people do, and are apparently very good at paying their accountants/lawyers to game the tax system in their favor. Rich people *definitely* don't want to get audited, but are the ones who should be and the return on the IRS time/effort would probably be worth it.

IRS tops $1 billion in past-due taxes collected from millionaires

Turns out IRS audits of wealthy offer terrific return on investment for taxpayers

Huh? The topic of this is about Gilmour Space Technologies's rocket, not SpaceX. Experimental rockets going boom is standard. In the particular case of SpaceX, multiple Starship launches resulted in debris outside the declared range. That was in fact bad, and for good reason resulted in FAA investigations and pauses on their launches. I'm not sure why you think this is a relevant topic when the entire discussion was about a separate Australian rocket. It seems like you are being a little bit obsessive about SpaceX.

Your claim that the bottom of the economic ladder uniformly supports Stumpy is false.

Your assumption that because I'm well-off I'm clueless about the lives and opinions of less well off people is stupid and false.

You're incredibly presumptuous and appear willing to just bullshit without regards to facts. So I'm done wasting time on you.
