Hm. Interesting. I thought it had been dismantled by now.

...to tell us why this is a bad thing.

I have been wondering for years why they couldn't/wouldn't do this.

Who cares if they don't come with hamberders?

Ever wondered how underwater cables are laid?

Tinder?

Maybe as the core was cooling and solidifying, the torque of the moon's rotation created a sort of "stiction" effect between the core and the higher layers (does the moon have a "mantle"?) that caused the dynamo effect to be sporadic...?

But wait I thought alternative energy was illegal in Texas?

...will make me wicked smaht, right?

OTOH, fixed-price contracts lead to hypervigilance on costs, which on R&D-intensive projects can lead to too much cost-cutting and failures like this one.

I thought we were all about freedom these days - doesn't that include freedom of choice? Require that lab-grown meat be clearly labeled as such, and let the market decide, no? Or is something else going on here, like the meat-farming/packing companies of America are worried...?

Tuition fully funds Avenues’ operations and the school does not ask families for other contributions, according to Tara Powers, the school’s head of communications.

Wow, that's so nice of them!

Um... except that some of the people detained and abused by ICE are not here illegally. Some of them are US citizens. And some of them don't get to enjoy being thrown into vans and detained; they just get shot on the street. AND YOU KNOW ALL OF THIS, DON'T YOU?

Please show me where I used the word "conspiracy". Or actually, don't bother. This really has devolved into ridiculousness.

"Yes, such people exist" - well, then what the hell are we arguing about? I already said: "I don't begrudge anyone simply having more money than me. That is, if they earned it". But you just admitted that the "extractive elite" do exist - "yes, such people exist" - your own words. And those are the folks I hate, not "rich people" in general, as I already pretty clearly explained. Now it is clear that you're not looking to have a serious conversation, just to use Ben Shapiro-style tactics to "win". So I will refer you to my prior invitation.

Yeah OK, it's obvious at this point that you care more about "winning" a discussion, whatever that means, than about anything actually substantive or meaningful, and that your position on this topic has devolved into being dismissive and casting everything into convenient left-vs-right catchphrases. ("Rent-seeking", BTW, has existed as an economic term for decades, long before the current political nonsense, which since you claim to have read the article, you should know - and your opinion of it as a term is obviously motivated by your obviously MAGA-infested politico-economics.) So rather than waste any more time on this, I'll simply invite you to F off.
