Denmark on Monday announced a $2 billion security plan for the Arctic ahead of a visit by the country's prime minister to Berlin, Paris and Brussels to shore up "European unity" on Greenland. The announcement…
This reminds me of people who think Musk is going to ferry them to Mars in their lifetime. It’s not physically possible. It condradicts nature, and its drowns out discourse on the actual opportunities we have.
I’ve even seen a few people on Lemmy talk about how various institutions like the CDC have failed them… Well, this is what we get for sidelining experts for influencers. Instead of just using these shower-thought fantasies to campaign, they’re actually trying to pursue them…

People think if that can happen, we are just one ion booster or warp bubble invention away from interstellar travel. Surely that too can happen in less than 50 “as long as we stop limiting businesses ability to invest and grow and…” all those other things they’ve been told are holding us back.
