It is going to take a heck of a lot of launches to build a moon base, and now you want to build a moon base with a sound stage? There isn't even any atmosphere on the moon to carry sound, so all the microphones would need redesigning as well.

If anything, your solution seems to add difficulties.

Maybe the US needs to start electing adults to fix things. Although you may no longer have that option.

Govt. Ineptness is NOT a new thing in the US....it's been around since I was born.

And seriously, you can drop the stupid "kings, no more elections " thing....it's getting old and it's just not even a concern.

If it were the case, it's the worst attempt at a dictator ship I've ever seen.....this administration is freeing up oppressive gun legislation the libs have been pushing for years.....protests are still allowed (except when they turn violent).....and I see no suppression of speech, unlike the previous admin.

If for some reason Trump was trying to overtake the govt....he really isn't doing the first things you'd need to do for that end goal.

Imagine being able to get the medical care you need without having to worry about it bankrupting you.

That's already the case with me. I have decent insurance through work....

Hell, I recently had to have surgery, and it didn't break the bank at all.

And I guess you're lucky over there for here dealing with the DMV is generally an all day cluster fuck, if you can get lucky and only deal with it 1 days.

There are some things the govt needs to do, by necessity that private could not do it...ie Defense, etc.

But I have yet to find anything offered or managed by the govt. (City, State or Fed) in the US that they do better and more efficiently than the private sectors.

BMVs/DMVs are state level, not fed. Only thing the fed has involvement in at that level is interstate CDLs.

It's an allegory, just an example of "A" govt entity that is almost universally known to be bad, inefficient and generally crummy.

The fed offices are not any better...last time I had to go into the Social Security office, I think for Real ID....what a fucking nightmare...took almost all day just to get an official copy of my SS card lost in Katrina.

There are a number of other agency examples....none of them positive.

You get wrong answers? I never get an answer, just vague waffling around the subject.
