    Republicans have spent a literal lifetime sabotaging the government at any opportunity so stuff can be privatized…

    That’s already the alternative, we don’t need to find one. We just need to go back to taxing the wealthy, and using that money for public services.

    Internet should be a public utility, and all the money we give to SpaceX should have went to NASA where the government would have gotten a return on investment from parents.

    People laugh at how crazy the predictions of the future from 1960 was, but if we kept funding NASA we might all have hoverboards and flying cars by now. We got a lot of really cool shit from just a decade of NASA in their hey day.
