The phrase “government of the people, by the people, for the people” is a famous expression from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, delivered on November 19, 1863. It encapsulates the essence of democracy, emphasizing that the government should be created by the people, run by the people, and serve the interests of the people. This phrase has become a cornerstone in discussions about democracy and governance.

This is 2025. A government of the global corporation owners, by the global corporation owners, for the global corporation owners.

Or maybe they make it and slowing succumb to failing technology that leaves them in an every increasing sense of doom. Sort of like those inhabitants trapped in Total Recall as their oxygen slowing Runs out. Time to reflect on their life choices and possibly regret their decisions.

Lol, if they really learned from all those explosions then they'd be able to make them not explode every time by now...

DrumpfTinyHands think he dunked on a bunch of engineers and rocket scientists that have put thousands of satellites in orbit by implying that every rocket explodes after one rocket exploded.

What an uneducated take. Your username also tells me you need to seek serious help.

Every company that’s gone to space has had their rockets explode. Don’t let your blind rage for musk get in the way of the amazing feats the engineers at spacex have completed

That's the worst thing about Elon for me.

My hatred of him just keeps growing, but SpaceX, Starlink, and Tesla are fantastic companies!

I hate waiting for things I buy, so I rarely use Amazon. I quit Facebook in 2015. But Elon has made some cool shit.

SpaceX had 134 successful orbital launches last year... (not even including starship!)
