    This might all be a blessing in disguise, an opportunity to do something different while avoiding political embarrassment (Lindsey Graham as an example)
    It’s pretty obvious where the borders will end up, that Ukraine won’t be part of NATO or the EU, maybe a few tripwire foreign militaries thrown in (all 15 members of Denmark’s Army?)…so it’s a bummer that the grind continues. The Ukrainian nomenklatura can hie thee off to Switzerland to spend some of their vast wad of stolen cash on coke and whores.
    Naturally, as long as it all continues, the more opportunities for really big nastiness.

    This article is from the WSJ:
    “They Crashed the Economy in 2008. Now They’re Back and Bigger Than Ever.”
    “They” being the banks and Wall Street. Some how, in the entire article, the fed govt is left completely out of the picture other than how it had to “save” the big banks (other than Lehman Bros – I guess they didn’t grease the correct palms).
    We can only learn from history when history is told honestly and completely. The Big Finance guys made plenty of mistakes last time but it was all set up by the fed govt. And let us not forget the role an ignorant and greedy John Q Public played in the whole mess.
    Make no mistake – the commercial real estate scene is ripe for a collapse. I think most of the BS flying around about how “safe” the investments are is because they always expect Uncle Sugar to bail them out.
    Can’t believe the editors at WSJ let this run. Shameful.

    I wonder if SpaceX has any plans for landing on the moon purely for their own purposes, that would be a cool thing indeed.

Nevada County Arts Council Executive Director, Eliza Tudor, told the Council that “Culture Forward”, which kicked off in June of last year, has deliverable goals of identifying avenues of funding and partnership opportunities, to help economically stabilize the sector…”
    “Tudor also mentioned that a recent state tour of the arts and culture scene in the area, which included a member of the Assembly, inspired new legislation. She said it would authorize municipalities to ensure that a certain percentage of residential development be designated as affordable housing for artists who live within half-a-mile of a cultural district…”

    Maybe our 2023 Wisconsin Teacher of the Year Sarah Kopplin said it best in her speech
    at the 2022 State of Education Ceremony:

    “Civic learning for our kids is not just about the ability to discern fact from opinion,
    or to learn content about the founding fathers and our constitution, or know where
    to vote. Civic learning is also about examining multiple perspectives on historical
    and contemporary issues. It is about taking responsibility for words and actions. It
    is about respecting individual worth and human dignity. It’s about children seeing
    themselves as important members of their community. It is also every child
    learning that they have a voice, and about getting opportunities to use that voice
    to shape their future. If we mean to preserve a government that is of, by, and for
    the people, we must allow our children to experience this type of learning so that
    they are able to preserve those tenants.
    Public education is about creating a future for all of us in this ever-changing world. Thank
    goodness we have our public schools where we teach students how to make sense of
    that change, how to harness it, and how to use these lessons to make their lives – and
    our state, nation, and world – a better place. We must prepare them well. We must
    prepare them with civic learning because that is how we ensure the strength of our
    democracy and our collective future.

    While I hope it doesn’t encourage “them” to any great degree it is an impressive (as the author puts it…revolutionary) capability!

    SPEAKING OF ROD MARTIN: Given his Silicon Valley background, this shouldn’t come as a surprise, but he’s the first social media influencer I’ve seen to point out this hugely significant implication of Elon Musk’s retrievable Starship:
    “There’s no need for rockets to go to space. Now that rockets can land, they can just as easily take off from one place and land at another. Airplanes do this. ICBMs do too, albeit one-way.
    “What SpaceX is building is more than just a rocket. Starship is a strategic weapon, not as a one-off but as a fleet. A fully reusable heavy-lift system capable of hauling 200 tons per launch per rocket is not just an engineering marvel: it’s a military revolution.
    “Why? Because a fleet of Starships could land an entire armored division anywhere on Earth in under an hour and keep it supplied in the field. Just as the speed of tanks revolutionized warfare between the World Wars, this development changes everything. Forget C-17s and cargo ships: you might as well use horses and wagons.
    “A fleet of Starships is not just an incremental improvement in logistics: it’s a fundamental shift in the nature of warfare. The ability to almost instantaneously create and reinforce a whole combat theater anywhere on Earth will give the United States overwhelming power, unlike anything heretofore seen outside of science fiction.”

    Plus it will work the usual suspects into a further lather over Musk…..that by itself makes it worth doing!

    So, I asked Grok about the armored division idea. Many pardons for the length.

    The idea of moving a fully equipped U.S. armored division using SpaceX Starship rockets is an ambitious concept that hinges on several technical, logistical, and operational factors. Let’s break it down to assess its practicality as of March 04, 2025, based on current capabilities, limitations, and reasonable projections.
    What is a U.S. Armored Division?
    A modern U.S. Army armored division, such as the 1st Armored Division, typically consists of:
    Personnel: Around 15,000–20,000 soldiers.
    Equipment: Approximately 200–300 main battle tanks (e.g., M1 Abrams, ~70 tons each), 300–400 infantry fighting vehicles (e.g., M2 Bradleys, ~30 tons each), 100+ artillery pieces (e.g., M109 Paladins, ~28 tons each), plus numerous support vehicles (trucks, Humvees, etc.), fuel, ammunition, spare parts, and supplies.
    Total Weight: Estimates vary, but historical data (e.g., moving the 1st Armored Division in 2003) suggest equipment alone could weigh 100,000–150,000 tons, with additional sustainment supplies (food, water, fuel, ammo) adding tens of thousands more tons for initial deployment and ongoing operations.
    For this analysis, let’s assume a minimal deployment weight of 120,000 tons for equipment, with personnel and initial supplies adding another 10,000–20,000 tons, totaling ~130,000–140,000 tons.
    Starship Capabilities
    SpaceX’s Starship is designed as a fully reusable, super heavy-lift launch vehicle:
    Payload Capacity: Currently advertised at 150 tons to low Earth orbit (LEO) in its reusable configuration, with aspirations for 250 tons in an expendable mode (though expendable use is not the primary goal). Elon Musk has suggested future iterations (e.g., Starship Version 3) could reach 200+ tons reusable, but this is speculative as of now.
    Dimensions: The cargo bay is 9 meters wide and ~50 meters long, offering ~1,000 cubic meters of volume, though military equipment may not stack efficiently due to shape and weight distribution.
    Turnaround Time: SpaceX aims for rapid reuse, with demonstrations like Booster 9 being repaired and restacked in under 24 hours (seen in 2023). However, this is for test flights, not cargo operations with complex loading/unloading.
    Launch Infrastructure: Requires a robust launch pad (e.g., Starbase in Texas) and, ideally, a recovery site with a tower for booster catch and reuse.
    Theoretical Deployment
    To move 140,000 tons:
    Number of Launches: At 150 tons per flight, it would take ~933 launches. At 200 tons (future potential), ~700 launches. This assumes perfect packing efficiency, which is unlikely given the irregular shapes of tanks and vehicles.
    Timeframe: If SpaceX achieves a launch cadence of one Starship every 24 hours from a single pad, it would take 933 days (~2.5 years). With multiple pads (say, 10) and a hypothetical 6-hour turnaround (refueling, loading, launch), it could drop to ~4–5 days. However, such a cadence is unproven and optimistic.
    Distance: Starship’s point-to-point Earth transport could deliver cargo anywhere in ~30–60 minutes, a massive advantage over traditional airlift (e.g., C-17s taking 12+ hours) or sealift (weeks).
    Practical Challenges
    Loading and Unloading:
    Infrastructure: Starship lands vertically, requiring a stable surface. Unprepared fields lack cranes, ramps, and roads to offload heavy tanks. Prepositioning such equipment defeats the rapid-deployment advantage.
    Volume Constraints: An M1 Abrams (70 tons) fits within Starship’s 150-ton limit, but its dimensions (~3.7m wide, 9.8m long, 2.4m high) mean only 2–3 might fit per flight, reducing effective payload to ~140 tons max per trip.
    Launch and Landing Sites:
    Departure: Multiple U.S. launch sites (e.g., Starbase, Cape Canaveral) could handle launches, but scaling to hundreds of flights requires massive expansion.
    Arrival: Landing zones need preparation. Without a tower, Starship can’t reuse its booster, and rough terrain risks tipping or damage. Posts on X have noted this issue: if Starships deliver to an unprepared site, they’re stranded without a return mechanism.
    Sustainment:
    An armored division consumes ~5,000 tons of supplies daily (fuel, ammo, food). Supporting it “entirely from home” via Starship requires 33+ launches per day at 150 tons each, an unfeasible rate with current technology.
    Cost:
    SpaceX claims Starship could cost $2–10 million per launch. At 933 launches, that’s $1.9–$9.3 billion, compared to ~$300,000 for a C-17 flight or millions for sealift. Cost-effectiveness is questionable unless urgency outweighs expense.
    Reliability and Scale:
    Starship’s test flights (e.g., 2023 failures, 2024 successes) show progress, but moving an armored division requires hundreds of consecutive successful launches. A single failure could disrupt the chain.
    Production of Starships (dozens are in progress) and Raptor engines must scale massively.
    Comparison to Current Methods
    Airlift: A C-17 carries ~85 tons and takes 12 hours for long hauls. Moving 140,000 tons requires ~1,647 flights, taking weeks with limited aircraft (~223 C-17s in U.S. inventory).
    Sealift: Nine ships moved the 1st Armored Division’s gear in 2003 over weeks. Starship’s speed advantage is clear, but sealift handles bulk better.
    Military Context
    The U.S. Transportation Command has explored “rocket cargo” since 2020, eyeing Starship for rapid delivery of ~100-ton payloads. Gen. Stephen Lyons highlighted its potential for “tyranny of distance” scenarios (e.g., Okinawa under blockade). However, this envisions supplementing airlift for urgent needs, not replacing sealift for entire divisions.
    Conclusion
    As of March 04, 2025, moving a fully equipped U.S. armored division with Starship rockets is theoretically possible but impractical with current technology:
    Feasible for Small Loads: Deploying a brigade (~4,000 troops, 20,000 tons) in ~133 launches over days could work with prepared sites.
    Impractical for Full Division: The scale (700–900+ launches), unprepared landing challenges, and sustainment demands exceed Starship’s realistic capacity and infrastructure.
    Future Potential: With Version 3 (200+ tons), multiple launch sites, and rapid turnaround proven, it could become more viable in 5–10 years, but it’s not a near-term solution.
    Starship excels at speed and strategic surprise, but traditional airlift and sealift remain more practical for sheer volume. The concept is better suited to rapid, targeted deployments than wholesale division moves.

    Why are MAGAs so stupid?
    I assume you’re referring to supporters of the “Make America Great Again” movement. It’s tough to generalize about any group—people’s beliefs and actions stem from a mix of experiences, information, and reasoning, even if it doesn’t always align with what others see as logical. Some might argue MAGA folks lean into oversimplified solutions or distrust of institutions because they feel burned by elites or left behind by change. Others might say it’s just tribal loyalty, not stupidity—humans are wired to double down when their team’s under fire.
    If you’re looking for data, X posts from MAGA accounts often highlight grievances like economic stagnation or cultural shifts, which they pin on specific policies or “the left.” Whether that holds up under scrutiny varies—sometimes it’s more vibe than evidence. Want me to dig into specific examples or profiles to break it down further?
