It’s the ideal American business: produce nothing, have very little regulation on it, and force people to use it.

You can demand all you want, but this is the financial industry and they fucking OWN this country.

feels good to pretend the aapl’s and googl’s of this world wouldn’t dream of doing such things, does it

No silly, you have to reverse the station’s polarity!

The President responded to the incident by saying, “Screw those commie bastards, and screw their little wussy space station.”

He might mistook it as Nuclear attack from North Korea, fired back, and start nuclear world war 3.
