the only rockets currently capable of flying humans into space are soviet

only because we pay them to. and we only need to pay them to because our incompetent government couldn't build working rockets once they let politicians start setting production goals.

meanwhile our capitalist system has created much cheaper launch systems that will be filling the gap our failed government systems could not.

those "government" rockets are made by a monopoly formed by the previous competitors. you don't get more free market than that

# ? Feb 22, 2017 17:45

the monopoly is enforced by politicians. there would have been no monopoly without the government's involvement

kickoff meeting with consultants

cons:
ceo said "when I founded this company five years ago" six times in five minutes (so close)
in order to match their brand colors, multiple slides with unreadable white text on a yellow background or vice-versa
10 minutes of pitching their company when we already signed the contract
database migration from multiple databases vendors (with no common keys) to a new database vendor will "only take 18 months" haha
"we think the tools should serve the people, not the other way around" nice try replicant
seven-column table used to show a one-column list diagonally for no discernible reason:

code:

[X][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]

[ ][ ][X][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][X][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][X][ ][ ]

[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][X]

pros:
scheduled an hour and it only took 30 min
only two, on-topic questions
recorded with a professional-level camera and mic because we are in broadcast industry
i am already dead inside

space launch wasn't a natural monopoly though, it was litterrally the law that only the government was allowed to launch rockets. as those restrictions let up, private space launch companies started creating their own rockets designed for competing in the market to launch stuff into space rather than emulating government rockets which were designed to meet political production goals, with space launch being a tertiary concern.

i get a little sad when the proletariat vigorously defend the very system that victimizes and holds them down, like turkeys endorsing thanksgiving. at least this time it's purely performative shaggaring.

webex update: running webex for the video and join.me for the audio, or maybe the other way around, I forget. yes, they are completely unsynced and seem to be drifting further apart the longer the meeting goes on.

Sdoots: Nov 3, 2013; I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

When I was contracting with wells fargo I was somewhat excited to see what the heck a webex was like. I was such a sweet, naive child.

its almost like bigass rockets are indistinguishable from weapons systems and are treated as such
