1. That's usually left to the states, they're the ones who assign CDLs
2. If we were serious about Federal enforcement it means actually funding such enforcement measures and also putting competent people in charge. I'm sure Kash Patel and Mark Wayne Mullins will get right on top of this economically complex issue.
3. If we don't want immigration enforcement to be called racist we should not put racists in charge of it, have them do a bunch of racist stuff and say they are doing things to be racist.

If we want functioning government we can choose to have it but we do have to choose that.

Hey one thing I am excited about Starship getting developed is the ability to launch huge probes with more instruments and fuel on faster arrival times.

Once it's a viable launch system I want a modern Pioneer type program, get orbiters around every planet in the solar system, get those Europa landers, get landers on Callisto and Triton too. We'll have access to more Delta-V than the scientists in the 60's could dream of.

At least here in America if these hugely important open source projects are in need of support we should have some grant money for them to keep these hugely economically important things moving, particularly if the foundation/engineers are based in the US as that makes it much easier but I would encourage other regions to do the same if they don't already. Some things are too important to leave to charity alone.

The cost of these things breaking can far outweigh what the cost to keep them maintained would. The total economic cost of just this particular incident? Millions? Hundreds of millions?

There is a really good case that public sector unions should not exist and I am generally a pro-union type of person but the dynamics of public vs private sector just don't make sense, the negative factors unions try to correct for are already baked into statutes. Police unions really bear a good portion of the negative opinions law enforcement has today.

Absolutely amazing, Republicans have ceded the concept of American hegemony and being a leader on the world stage to Democrats; along with Freedom of Speech, the NFL, affordable energy and even domestic beer.

Now we can't even get Republicans to fight Russians when they are acting like Red Dawn style cartoon villains. Like I don't think you're a Russian agent but yet Putin could come into your house and fuck your mother and you would just cry and say "no foreign wars"
