@hawaiiboy well yes .. but the pattern is clear - history forgotten and a story replaces what went down … sometimes it’s a coup, sometimes fascists in congress, sometimes locking people out of society .. Japanese internments, segregation, wiping out populations, insisting that .. THAT bit of land belongs to ‘merica … the overall pattern is clear — and the history books don’t tell the story .. which is why we are always surprised!

@adamprocter would you use it if they did a deal with starlink?
