You know what seems like a really good idea when we’re trying to reduce carbon emissions? A bunch of new satellite networks. We could get, like, one of the least trustworthy people on Earth to launch thousands of the things and then get everyone else to launch their own because he can’t be trusted. Literally just blot out the sun with them. No biggie.
As much as I am not remotely bothered by the banning of TikTok (which seems like it may well not go through anyway), maybe we should start with banning the sites that literally funnel a bunch of heavy metals into people’s mailboxes and cause actual known physical harm both to the naive people who still buy this stuff and to their neighbors, family members, and postal workers?
