alt Hacker NewsThe world finally woke up to the fact that “colonizing mars” was fake bullshit.
The same way “full self driving” was (and is) fake bullshit used to do what the rich always do:
Take from you (via taxes and inflation spending) and give to themselves via government contracts that are done via lobbyists and regulatory capture.
Musk literally raided the govt via DOGE to ensure these contracts got done. His entire grift is to get on the government tit via subsidies or direct contracts
Are you really making this point?
Someone somewhere probably once thought agriculture was "fake bullshit" and insisted on the hunt instead. I definitely take GP's point (so long as one can afford the longest of plays).
