More like the C-Team, actually. What happens when mediocrities are promoted.

Is Gen Z turning against Western civilization? And thoughts on Weimar America:
…the overwhelmingly minority students (whose school is ranked academically near the bottom among New York City schools) were acculturated to the racist reality that as the “oppressed” they were exempt from any punishment for hunting down their own teacher. As a Jewish (and thus white) “oppressive” supporter of Israel, she was reduced to, in the words an enthusiastic commenter on a Tik Tok video of the riot, a “cracker ass bitch.” And so the student pack tracked her down as if they were hunting an animal. The old Nazi youth gangs tried to kill Jews because they were not considered “white;” our new Nazis hunt them down because they allege that they are. The common denominator between the 1930s and 2023 is an unhinged hatred of Jews.
Yes.

Space Rescue
Yes, there will be a need for it (and a Space Guard to carry it out). And not just for tourists. And the most responsive place to put a base for it would be equatorial LEO.
Another “City On Mars” Review
Wising Up
Branson isn’t going to pour any more of his own money into that hole in the sky he started almost two decades ago.
To be fair, though, most of the money that went into it was other (foolish) peoples’. It never made any business sense given how much they were putting into it.

Why People Think The Economy Sucks
I rarely eat fast food except when traveling. And I never have it delivered. I think that a lot of people who are paying other people to cook for them and deliver the food can’t really afford it.
Last Week’s Starship Test
Eric Berger judges it a huge success.
I’m sure they learned a hell of a lot from it, which is the purpose of a test flight. The only failed test is one from which you learn nothing.
Per some of the stupid comments, the notion that Elon is a white supremacist is lunacy, but there is a lot of lunacy in the world these days.

More thoughts from Eric, a couple hours after the first column: ” I no longer have any regrets about missing Apollo. I am thrilled to be alive at this very moment in human history.”
I would trade having missed Apollo to be twenty years younger, but it’s not an option. Fortunately, I’ve also almost made it to the the point at which I may be able to live a lot longer, and see a lot more happen.
