no one at SpaceX is “catching rockets out of the sky!” They cought one rocket, one time. It didn’t work the next time. So, to be an amazing feat that matters you have to make it proven and repeatable.

When are airline pilots going to stop complaining about the lost decade, and start understanding the policies that led to the economy imploding and furlough slips being passed out like candy? How many jobs have one party created, and how many has the other party created?

It’s also amusing hearing people complain about tax money while giving complete approval to the guy who raised your taxes! But please, continue to lecture me on tax policy. “I love the poorly educated”
Who raised your taxes?

My taxes went way up under Trump’s TCJA in 2017. I was a lifetime Republican voter. I’ve since voted for a Democratic senator and representative in 2018 and every election since then.

I think that is a larger factor for people who were/are in high tax states. Not me… enjoying my TCJA tax breaks.
