Comment Re:Funny you mention Bush the elder (Score 1) 118

It's funny you mention Bush Sr. He's probably the last president who paid any attention to preparedness for a future pandemic. It's something he really thought about, something that worried him.

His son was at least aware, though. Maybe his dad pointed it out to him. https://youtu.be/uSDC5L7qYUc

Apart from Obama, you mean? Because the Obama administration made sure they were prepared, and even tried to hand over their knowledge to the Trump administration. The results of this handover were predictable, but they tried.

They send enough drugs for cash, just return the cash. And anyone can make tacos. Then grow pot.in USA, and sell it back to Mexico cheaper.

I'm sorry, but I cannot distill a coherent plan from this. You want to return cash to Mexico, and sell tacos and pot them? I, err, have seen more compelling business plans.

Simple.

He's going to get Mexico to pay for it!

and it's going to be YUGE!

Exactly. Get Mexico to pay for the wall [...]

Since you seem to believe this is a good idea, can you explain why Mexico would ever pay for the wall? Because for me that is the most unrealistic part of a highly unrealistic plan. What's in it for Mexico?

The companies dominating the Internet have been censoring the right since at least 2015.

I hope to see you killed in the street, and soon.

With that last sentence you are on the border of incitement. I certainly hope that any civilised country draws the line at incitement, and this has nothing to do with left, right, up, down, black, white, purple, or yellow. Encouraging people to be killed should be just as illegal on the internet as in other media.

Is building a heavy launch vehicle an ego trip as well, according you you? Normally first launches like this have just a dummy load: bags of sand or whatever else can make up sufficient payload. If somebody wants to stretch the goals by adding a car to this dummy load and aiming for Mars in this first launch, I fail to see why that deserves so much grousing. Personally I think it is a waste of a perfectly fine car, but hey, he built the thing himself, and he seems to like to have fun with things like this, so who am I to judge him on that.
