Comment What did we expect? (Score 2) 249

We have cut funding for education by A LOT in the past 40 years coupled with the propaganda that the educated are "elitists" and all sorts of other nonsense. It's no wonder Gen Z has targeted the cheapest path to the most money. Getting a a degree is very costly especially a medical one and not everyone has access to those degrees (contrary to what you might think). Somewhere along the way, we should have seen this coming, "Idiocracy" was a movie that basically mapped out what we will be when all of us are uneducated, it was a comedy but there was/is a lot of truth to it.

Comment This could disrupt our food production (Score 1) 79

If this ever does get to 50,000 satellites, and it is used a lot, it could disrupt our food production. Plants use the light cycle to time fruiting and growth and if that cycle gets disrupted, they can get stress and their output could be reduced or non-existent. There should really be some further testing/thought about what unintended side effects this could produce.

The problem with your argument, that smarter people just stay home, is off base. By NOT protesting and showing your legislators you are against what they are doing, you are instead, sending them the signal that it is OK and to keep doing what they are doing. Sure it is âoesaferâ to stay home, but that doesnâ(TM)t make it âoesafeâ for you when some armed, masked, law enforcement officers are gunning for you, because you just happen to be driving near them (like to pick your kids up).

Comment Let them all leave California (Score 1) 295

Those billionaires are high if they really think leaving a state is going to impact the state. They already consume way more state resources than they actually pay for, so good riddance. Let Texas or some other backwards state take them in and soon enough even they will regret it.

Comment Look out for tariffs (Score 1) 207

I bet with a well placed donation/bribe John Deere will get this admin to put a tariff on these tractors to place it on an uneven playing field. In the long run, it would be worth paying the tariff (if one were to materialize) since the long term ownership costs, paying John Deere will far exceed what ever you would pay.

Comment They did the right thing (Score 4, Insightful) 86

Sadly, based on how our current administration has made some unreasonable demands from tech companies and other countries, I think they are doing the right thing. There is no way they should allow their highly private data to be held by a US company which could just as easily feed that data into Palintier or some other AI and your data will no longer be private. This admin has show they do not like data to be private at all
