    There’s absolutely no way a space hotel will be operational in 2027.

    But it’s more likely than public healthcare in the USA in 2027.

      I mean maybe some billionaire will convince (pay) NASA to dock some capsule with a sleeping bag to the ISS and other billionaires can go sleep in that sleeping bag. It is technically a hotel, but it will definitively not be like in the picture…

    No it won’t.

    Not in 2027

    Not in 2037

    These projects are little more than scams, just like Mars 1; pure nonsense

    The solution is so simple. Vote overwhelming for progressive, and get rid of the centrists and Republicans.

    We’d have free, universal healthcare within a couple of years.

      First you need overwhelming numbers to join the Democrat party to make sure a progressive candidate gets leadership of the party. Otherwise it will just be Hillary Clintons beating out Bernie Sanders every time.

        For real for real, the sheer level of conspiracism and explaining away the fact that Boomers will actually go out and fucking vote.

        It can’t be that the people who disagree with them go out and do the one “praxis” they have to be dragged out kicking and screaming to do even for the guy they claim to support, no, clearly the DNC is responsible for Bernie losing a race he got less votes in!

          Well, the DNC absolutely kneecapped Bernie when he was running against Hillary. I mean, we literally have the emails to prove it.

          Against Biden, the issue wasn’t the DNC as much as it was Elizabeth Warren refusing to consolidate the liberals behind Bernie as the moderates consolidated behind Biden. The final nail in the coffin was the prominent black leader who thew his support to Biden and handed him a critical victory in one of the southern states. This always annoyed me deeply, because Bernie was literally out there getting arrested to fight for their civil rights while Biden was on the wrong side of the busing civil rights issue.

          Oh well. At least Bernie dragged Biden much farther left than he would have been.

    My favorite version of this the lady is like spouting off a bunch of silicon valley buzzwords and the guy on the right is “healthcare pls…”
