Late stage empire vibes.

  • Self-own your own IT infrastructure by pushing out an update on your overly bloated domestic security software peddled by your military industrial complex. Wasn't even an attack from a major cyber rival: you fucked this up all on your own.
  • Your space agency cancels their only moon robot because their contractors bled them dry. Meanwhile your main geopolitical rivals are building entire military bases on the moon.
  • You have astronauts stranded on a space station because Boeing, your only remaining domestic aerospace company, was taken over by MBAs and can't make airplanes OR space shuttles without endangering your own citizens.
  • Your two major political parties are so dysfunctional that one got through a whole primary cycle with a decrepit old man before realizing he was actually too senile for the job and now your political elites are forced to play their veto uno reverse card in the media. And the other party just had their candidate survive a homegrown assassination attempt by a slight neck twitch, only to turn around and start endorsing a public plan to dismantle your own government with their VP pick.

And ALL of this in the past week, lmao.

The other aerospace companies are primarily defense oriented
