    …and slash regulations. I know this has always been their goal but damn. He doesn’t even need anything more, he has almost everything money can buy, and he thought, “ok, I have to try to buy the government”.

      In all fairness, the US had defunct laws from the 1700 on the books no one bothered to repeal… guess which laws will now be used by the Trump administration.

      The fact these laws where still on the books just proves their point… they will just now eliminate laws they don’t like… like child labor laws.

      This is beginning to sound a lot like Cyberpunk. Corporations act like governments while NUSA takes a backseat.

        Mike Pondsmith just extrapolated the trends he saw in the society - corporatism, drugs, plastic surgeries, stress, crime, prostitution. He just pushed these things to the extreme and put in scifi setting. This isn’t just Trump thing, this is happening for decades now.

        Because launching a rocket isn’t without consequence. Shouldn’t just launch willy nilly every day because you have it, there are other factors (environment, structural damage, etc)to consider which he does not care about.

        For a good reason. Approvals are thorough because they are the accumulation of our learnings throughout the decades and centuries.

        I don’t know if you’re meaning to justify his actions or what, but let’s not do that justification thingy when it’s completely unjustified.
