Why SpaceX? I hate Musk and do not support any of his other... anythings. However, rocket go zoom then land without boom is fun to watch. I am genuinely curious why SpaceX is bad.
I completely agree about everything else you mentioned.
However, rocket go zoom then land without boom is fun to watch.
Yeah, Musk is a true innovater by having them blow up the concrete launchpad on launch instead...
The government got more money from the patents NASA got then it cost to fund NASA. Privatizing space hurts everyone except the rich asshole who gets the parents.
For fucks sake.
I clearly said I do not like musk. I even went as far as saying I hate him but still that's the first place you went. What the fuck?
Yeah, but there's also the cognitive dissonance of you saying SpaceX is fun because they don't explode...
But they do explode. Waaaaay more than NASA. Because if a NASA launch goes bad, everyone pays attention. If SpaceX goes bad, people just shrug
So by your own metrics you just said...
NASA is better than SpaceX.
No matter what position I took, it would have disagreed with your comment, because your comment disagrees with itself. Which explains why you think spacex is a positive.

why SpaceX is bad.
For example they "decorated" our night sky with thousands of their satellites. Never asked permission. Astronomers around the globe are pissed because their work & results gets worse. Other people who own satellites are pissed because they don't behave up there.
I have read about the interference with astronomy and am not for it. It didn't occur to me when I asked.
Thanks for answering my question.

Private companies have no business being in space. It sets a dangerous precedent for the future.
Any good publicity for SpaceX is ultimately good publicity for Musk, who's made himself the face of that company too.

DuPont, source of our microplastic nightmare
And 3M. They both dumped a shit ton of PFAS/PFOA into the ground at every one of their factories around the world.
And teflon and other chemicals used in large quantities while delaying the inevitable reports of danger they pose.
Autism Speaks. It has a pro-eugenics mindset, so you'd think everyone would be boycotting it, right? Nope, in fact it's partnered with the Jim Henson company.

AT&T and basically all of the major US banks

Oh wait, you CAN'T boycott them. The ultimate monopoly.
Bayer-Monsanto, John Deere, Nestle
Microsoft, although regulators sure as fuck help them make that impossible

As far as which companies "deserve" it, it would be quicker to list the ones that don't.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned in the 224 (so far) comments... but another bad guy worth hating is
Hewlett Packard.
Their
"Hey, you need to have our proprietary ink cartrige in your HP inkjet printer plus scanner to print AND to scan as well. The scanner won't work when you are out of ink"
Is just plain fuckery.
Comcast / Xfinity. Have been forced to use their services for years until a viable alternative arrived in my neighborhood, paid $110 a month for internet to be down at least 2 days a month when my wife and I both work from home. All calls and tickets and emails were met with "you're not using out router and we don't see issues on our side, sounds like a you problem".
Almost left for ancient Century Link pipe when internet was out for 17 hours one day, called 3 times and finally got a competent person on the line not saying the above. Instead said they had done maintenance in my neighborhood and when they sent someone out to look at the uplink it was magically working again. Filed for a service refund thing since it was way below the promised availability and I had to reschedule meetings because my hotspot was slow and they gave me a $1.35 refund to my $110 bill that month.

Most of them, but I'm just tired.
- Apple
- All of the defence contractors
- Every telecom I've ever used apart from EE and Giffgaff
- YouTube
- Any website that tries to circumvent privacy rules with fuckery
- Governments like the UK that insist prohition is a better alternative to harm reduction but continue to profit from poisons like alcohol.
- Any company that makes devices with proprietary interfaces e.g. WiFi printers, BT routers, Apple in general, Tesla, battery power tool manufacturers.
- The list goes on...

Every auto maker lobbying against right to repair and every phone maker who remotely accesses people's phones.
In this thread:
Let's boycott the gaming company that we disagree with! Also I guess that company that's using literal child slavery for their chocolate. Quite the disconnect here, I don't think the people making Mario games deserve the same punishment as the people buying up all of the housing market because they can in order to rent out said houses to the same people who were originally trying to buy them
