You could always just fund the space agency you already have, instead of funneling money to a foreign billionaire.

No this the one time I’m with the commies. Nationalize that shit. Like you said it’s all taxpayer money anyway. A little bit of Wall Street speculation, but who gives a fuck about those people

it’s all taxpayer money anyway

Good point.

[–] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago (5 children)

So you wanna nationalize the whole telecom industry then?

[–] Chulk@lemmy.ml 3 points 20 hours ago

Don't threaten me with a good time!

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well, now that you bring it up...

I fully agree. Any industry that can’t survive on its own and needs public funds, shouldn’t exist. If it’s an essential service it should be nationalized.

So you want Donald Trump in charge of the telecom industry and any other industries that have received some sort of public subsidy?

lol you really threatened Lemmy with a good time

[–] Squirrelanna@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 day ago

Yes please, maybe they'll fix the shit they've been getting paid for decades to fix finally.

[–] lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, absolutely. And power too

[–] Fenrisulfir@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

And pharma. And O&G

this the one time I’m with the commies

Are you against universal and free healthcare, education and retirement? Are you against improving worker rights, paid holidays, sick leave, guaranteed housing and guaranteed employment? Are you against unionisation of workplaces and collective worker decisions mattering in business? Are you against heavy regulation against climate change and pollution of the environment? Are you against anti-racism, feminism, anti-fascism and the redistribution of wealth from the richest to the poorest? I'm sure you have a lot more common ground with us commies than you think

all taxpayer money anyway

Yes but with very little to show for it. If the government just treated all undelivered orders as debt, it would end up deep in the red.

[–] Balex@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

What do you mean little to show for it?

it'll be sold to the highest bidder is my bet

I would find it funny that billionaires would pass off the opportunity of taking musk's position on a discount
