Last month, the Department of Justice sided with SpaceX in the NAACP’s lawsuit, saying the unpermitted turbines were a matter of “national, economic, and energy security.”
This says it all

Of course, the only people who have to make sacrifices for national, economic, and energy security are poor people

Breaking the law is a matter of national security. So is raping children and covering it up. So much security!
Replying to @tjoa@feddit.org
No longer a “system of laws not people” anymore. If it ever was.
Replying to @tjoa@feddit.org
So shut it down with methods outside the law. A brick is a brick.

Bold move to put your “national, economic, and energy security” in the hands of a drug-addled former illegal immigrant.

It’s easy to see why they allow it

I also forgot to add criminal-at-large to that descriptor.
