I think the point I was getting at yesterday is that a full, globe-spanning Starlink will NEVER be profitable as a provider of Internet services.
HOWEVER, as a data-gathering service for govs & large corporations (aka "Palantir") it could be EXTREMELY profitable.
... & that's really bad for us.

I need a SpaceX/Starlink expert to fact-check me.
Starlink loses a 1-2 satellites of the 8,800+ currently in orbit on a regular day. Once they hit their target of 42,000 they'll be losing 5-10 a day or ~2000-3600 a year?

For anyone who thinks resistance is futile, I would like to bring your attention to just how much less ambitious the administration’s domestic crackdown goals have become in recent months. They’re unpopular, fighting on all fronts, and on the retreat.
Today, for the first time in six months, Angelenos are living without the National Guard unlawfully deployed in their city.
Our team fought tirelessly against President Trump’s unlawful attempts to militarize American cities, and while the fight is not over, this is a step in the right direction.

USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!

I sat down with 20 undecided Texas voters on @jubileemedia.bsky.social’s Surrounded.
One of them brought up “welfare queens” so I told him the truth:
The biggest welfare queens in this country are the giant corporations that don’t pay a penny in federal taxes.
