2021, in the year of our lord, we don't even have the capability to replicate what our predecessors did 50 years ago. These bureaucrats have to step out of the way instead of condemning this generation to another 50 years of playing in LEO.

This is honestly depressing. Lobbyists and politicians play these midwits to consume their mandated talking points while profiting off the decline.

Nuclear energy bad, renewables or bust. While committing to unrealistic climate change goals. Guess what China is doing?

They're hollowing out our institutions, warhawks are squandering treasure in pointless wars, outsourcing critical manufacturing and supplies, creating internal divisions to get votes and weaponizing science by selectively believing things that helps them politically while ignoring science when it's inconvenient.

Are we living in a decline? Is this what the romans felt when the empire was crumbling down? This sucks.
