Yes, space will be viewed as a waste of money until the looters understand its value, and will then try to take control.

“The Science” Is Broken
I always laugh when someone demands to see a “peer reviewed” paper on a topic, as though that means anything worthwhile.
The editors of the world's most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening.

Worth noting, of course, that Michael Mann’s papers were “peer reviewed.”
The Spoils System

Interesting. I would think that the recent explosion of tech would be a similar driver, but it’s happening too fast to affect natural selection.
The Climate Scam
It’s official now that it was always a scam.
Barefoot In The House
I generally do this, only putting on sandals or slippers to go outside. I’ve had issues with fungus in the past, and it helps to let my feet breathe. And only having cats, and not kids, there is no Lego danger.
