An announcement that the US has active weapons platforms in orbit has come as the Space Force seeks a $71 billion budget hike.

🌌 The US Space Force is like a self-fulfilling prophecy:

First they announce this:

“…Pentagon has definitively deployed active space-based weapons platforms.”

Then they declare peaceful, untouched and shared Space: “Space is both a battlefield…”

Their counterparts around the world do the same, & these warmongers have brought us one step closer to turning the last frontier into a military conflict zone.

SPACE IS FOR ALL MANKIND - No leadership can change that!

    Once a year I go to the local library and print some blank 1040s and other tax documents, costs me like $2 in print fees. Nobody (except maybe Ratheon) wants weapons in space. Can we make tax season more efficient instead? For example, gov sends a tax bill that one either pays or disputes rather than forcing everyone to calculate a number they already have?

      If only they put half the effort spent lobbying taxes, putting hurdles for space development instead, the whole world could benefit from not turning earth’s orbit into an american clusterfuck
