Ummm.... yeah, his administration did. You think that started in 2016? It ramped up dramatically in the Trump administration, but Bush Jr and Obama before him also did it, just much less.

Not at all- I’m very anti-Trump. What I’m saying is “don’t allow good rhetoric to make you complacent when policies are bad.” Or perhaps, less assuming of good intentions- don’t be a partisan hack when it comes to these things. If you’re opposed to something, be opposed to something regardless of how nice of a speech…

No, but that’s why I say “I don’t believe” instead of “for sure.” I’m guessing in a couple of months when we have a Democratic president in office (I’m guessing/hoping- because Biden would be way better than we have now) suddenly there will be less articles from this site complaining about tech companies helping the…

No, Trump is worse than Obama. Hands down. But I am saying having an eloquent president who says good things makes people feel better, even if it isn’t being better.

I don’t believe you actually care. When Amazon started this contract, it was under the Obama administration, and yet Gizmodo didn’t write think-pieces about whether or not it was ok for our tech companies to support the government. So what- providing these services for an administration that has someone who can…

This is some real hem-hawing. Look, you can be pro-Protesting while at the same time, being honest about the risks involved. If this were any other gathering the advice would be clear- “quarantine yourself or get tested.” But just because people are gathering for a good cause doesn’t offer up a new level of…

As soon as the Pandemic became political (which, is mainly on Trump) this reaction became inevitable (which is on Trump, and everyone else). The problems with identity politics are so severe, that it’s no longer possible to think your opponent is wrong, but hope they are right.

I know the point you’re trying to make, but I don’t understand how it applies to the OP

This is not a “COVID isn’t a real threat” post- this is a “not all pandemics end due to vaccine” post. There was never a vaccine for Spanish Flu, and yet the pandemic ended.

Man free to shit talk his own government and do what he wants “I live in a dictatorship!”

And here I am, hoping the second wave doesn’t kill anyone. But I guess that’s because I’m not someone who wishes death on my political opponents.

With  your logic, we could lower our reported cases by reporting on a State-by-State basis! Statistics don’t matter! Just publish big number!

Id prefer not to make this global pandemic political, but when people insist I like to play a game called “find me the politician that was calling for action sooner.” Lots of them have access to the same briefings as Trump, so who was it?

SpaceX employees aren’t living on controled SpaceX campuses with monitored coming and goings- they are regular contractors who go home at night, do the same things as everyone else, and then are apparenly being asked to come back into a facility and work, likely in close contact with other people.

The tone of this article is the same tone as articles written by people on the other side of the spectrum. It does no one any good to keep trying to justify why they fell for it. “Oh, well he didn’t say it, but I totally get why you would think he did.” People who share news from satire sources like they are real need…

And churches have been shut down. And the ones which are disobeying are being appropriately shamed. 

Yes. But this rocket has nothing to do with supplying the ISS with anything. 

I get he is able to skate by legally, but morally it seems very different. The manufacturing exceptions are for manufacturing goods we need during the pandemic. And just because your company has DoD contracts doesn't mean everything your company does is covered. It's why Northrop Grumman had to stop working on the…

And why does Space-X get a pass for continuing to do very non-essential work during this time?

Seriously, there are so many “what-ifs” in this article. No where is there evidence stated that they aren’t going to run as a good hospital should, nor did they even bother to look into the field hospital they ran in Italy.
