Because the cost includes everything to move and house the shuttle from one location to another. It is not just the transportation cost of a truck and gas. And it is a sensitive item not a pallet of parts. When a museum lends a painting to another museum, the total cost could be in the millions. Sure you could give Bob $100 to throw it in his truck and drive it to the location. That is not how these things are moved.

But Ted Cruz did it for the children—specifically his children. Why won't you think of them?!

If you have lived in Houston then you would know everything is 2 hours away by car. That is less accessible than DC which is a compact city with a decent public transportation.

And what does that have to do with visitors to Space Center Houston vs Smithsonian Air and Space museum. People can visit either having nothing to do with visiting museums.

Your understanding of government is very poor. The Executive branch is not only at the President's sole whim. Many executive agencies must follow directions set by Congress. For example, emissions standards issued by EPA are set by acts of Congress. That alone destroys the rest of your post.

Again the NWS issued warnings. Most residents in that area probably got them via cell phone alerts. Also more than likely anyone watching TV or listening to the radio received a warning. But it was very early morning, and few people would be awake. Whether the campers got warnings is another matter.

Other than the fact the Smithsonian Air and Space museum itself in Washington DC gets more visitors than Space Center Houston? The Air and Space museum has several Smithsonian museums within walking distance alone. And visitors are in Washington DC which has many more tourist attractions because it is a compact city with a robust public transportation system. That is what "accessible" means. If visitors want to visit Space Center Houston there are some bus routes but no buses on weekends. Also there is nothing around Space Center Houston for visitors.

By your logic, the shuttle should be moved to New York City because it has the largest population at 9 million. What about Mexico City which has the largest population in North America?

The flooding occurred early Friday morning with the rise starting around 4am . I hardly doubt the campers were "scattered doing activities" at 4am. We do not know what warnings the camp got. We do know the National Weather Service issued a warning at 1am about possible flooding and at 4am as a flood watch instead of a mere warning. We also know that the campers themselves did not have cellphones as it was a stipulation of the camp that they not have their cellphones. We do not know if camp officials received warnings.

It took about 45 minutes to river to rise to peak. It was possible to warn them, but we will wait on an investigation to determine if it was practical to warn people.

Lets be clear. Trump only cares about the bureaucracy designed to prevent him from doing anything he wants. He does not really care about bureaucracy in general. For his purposes every government agency has too many people even those that are understaffed especially those that are responsible for keeping his power in check.

While filings have a fairly standard format, citations can be from multiple sources which may have different formats. In the case Mata v Avianca where ChatGPT fabricated cases, the AI cited the following cases:

• Zicherman v. Korean Air Lines Co., 516 F.3d 1237, 1254 (11th Cir. 2008)
• In re BDC 56 LLC, 330 B.R. 466, 471 (Bankr. D.N.H. 2005)
• Kaiser Steel Corp. v. W. S. Ranch Co., 391 U.S. 593 (1968)
• El Al Israel Airlines, Ltd. v. Tsui Yuan Tseng, 525 U.S. 155 (1999)

The first two did not exist but the last two do exist but had nothing to do with the topic cited. It would still take a human to determine that these cases where bogus citations.

For higher courts like SCOTUS, they get clerks who are lawyers and are part of their legal training. However such clerks are not common especially for courts likes one which would handle a state divorce. The clerks at this level are purely administrative clerks. They handle the schedules of hearings and cases, they receive and mark the filings, etc. These clerks do not look at the filings in detail.

Generally assistants and paralegals may not have any part of false citations. They would be more involved with the processes than anything else. It is mostly on the lawyers who signed the filings. Any work submitted under their name is a reflection on them.

Also what did you responsibility do you expect of the judge's support staff? The judge's clerk and court reporter do very little research or look at the filings in detail. They are generally more involved with the processes like scheduling hearings, processing the filings, preparing transcripts for lawyers, etc. From what I can tell this was a state court handling a divorce case.

Generally opposing counsel would challenge the cases; however, if opposing counsel was lazy and did not bother to check, that's another story. The first case I know with AI generated cases was Mata v Avianca. The opposing counsel alerted the court to the fictitious citations early in the case. The lawyers that used ChatGPT to write the briefs were sanctioned and fined. But that was a federal case where there is more scrutiny. A local divorce case may mean the lawyers and judge did not check everything.

Without details it is not clear when Mach 12 happened. A consideration on why the rocket was used might be China does not have a plane that could launch the vehicle at the moment. I think a modified B-52 is used to launch the X planes but they have been doing it for decades.

Unlike you, the various government agencies that investigate crashes have a responsibility to make sure they have everything correct. Analyzing the data is not instant. People seem to think investigations happen like in CSI. Determining the root cause could take months. Part of the investigation is determining if it could have been prevented, what steps can be done to avoid the cause in the future, etc. The crash happened on June 12, 2025. It has not been a month since it happened, yet you expect findings to be released immediately?

Your assumption again is that somehow investigator instantly know the root cause and are ready to release their findings. When the investigation determines that it was a design or construction problem, the appropriate agencies are notified.

Part of the investigation has to take into account how it has to be done. Suppose the root cause is a faulty design of a part. It will need to be replaced; however, the replacement part has to be redesigned first. Then it will take time to replace the part on all affected aircraft even if all the parts existed. Things do not happen magically.

He is trying to smear leftists with topics unrelated to this post. But as his name suggests, he is a right winger. If you follow his other posts, he uses every chance he gets to blame things on the left. Like this post where he insinuates that it is Obama's fault that touchscreens have replaced physical controls in cars."One could indirectly blame the Obama-era NHTSA for pushing a backup camera requirement . . . ".

1. Obama made backup cameras mandatory.
2. ????
3. Automakers removed physical controls.
4. Profit!!

It is his modus operandi.
