When you and your friend are running from a dragon, you can survive by running faster - or tripping your friend

Market winners are libertarians. Everyone else are socialists.

One nice unintended side effect of Bezos' tantrums (demands for more cake and ice cream) is the implicit recognition that governments create markets, are the source of all wealth.

As a taxpayer, I'm overjoyed that we're bankrolling SpaceX (and everyone else). I want sat phones and vacations on Mars.

Then in 10 years, when Musk is a trillionaire, I'll be even happier when we claw back his windfall thru repeated radical cashectomies.

Once Musk is reduced back down to billionaire status, award him a Presidential Freedom Markets™ Medal. And maybe rename some buildings.
