Their freedom to take your freedom away.

If you think it’s a productive use of his time (i.e. your dollars) to micro-manage such issues that’s up to you. This kind of thing is common and all about optics and dog whistles. Most people see that pretty clearly.

Up next: attempting to outlaw rainbows after storms pass, or at least to make it illegal to look at or comment upon them.

The more he goes out of his way to pwn the LGBTQ community, the more I think his internet history is nothing but gay porn.

He’s trying to prove that being that hateful and stupid wasn’t just a primary campaign ploy to try to peel off Trumpists; no, he really is that hateful and stupid at his very core.

Well, the new “don’t say climate change” law bans gas appliance bans and offshore wind turbines and increases the usage of fossil fuels, so he’s “solving” the crisis by ensuring Florida sinks into the sea as fast possible. He’s like the captain of the Titanic, but aiming directly at the centre of the iceberg.

He knows what issues Floridians really care about!

My car insurance went up 40% when I renewed this month. Clean driving record for the last 15 years. Home insurance went up 30% last year, never filed a claim. So glad our governor is addressing the out of control cost of living! No wait, he’s changing bridge colors and banning lab grown meat. 

the far right has made the word “freedom” not mean freedom anymore. 

Would be nice to know how many of the drivers who were behind the wheel of the EV were distracted at the time they hit the pedestrian.

Was going to go with generic gif of a flamethrower but since this is Jalopnik. . .

That’s a good point. I wonder if the average user is also more likely to be cautious with the throttle on an ICE engine than an EV. The EV allows you to stab the throttle without drawing too much attention.

I’ve got a 100ish pound deer dead in the woods about 100 feet from my house that smells to high heaven. I can’t even imagine how bad this would be. 

He’s worth $1.7 billion. While that’s an astronomical (pun somewhat intended) amount of money for you or me, that’s not even a very big NASA mission these days. And what you’re describing is maybe similar to the Nancy Grace Roman space telescope, which is up to almost $4 billion. Telescopes, especially space…

My guess: building a team to create something new has a higher chance of failure than convening a team to work on something that’s already successful allows him a better chance of piggybacking onto success and jumpstarting his brand as a space billionaire

Adjusted for inflation, Hubble cost about $12 billion before the servicing missions were added to the price tag.  So no, it would not be trivial financing, even for him.  Heck, it wasn’t trivial financing even for NASA.

A lander probe for Triton would be cool...

Hubble cost ~$16B to develop and put up there. Webb was ~$10B.

I like your point, but I wouldn’t call this level of funding ‘trivial’:

I’m honestly having trouble coming up with a worse one and I literally write for a living
