OMG I suppose this would be obvious to some of you but I just realized this is why they think it’s so “easy” to cut a government budget. They assume someone somewhere must be eating lobster and then cut that. Poor Elon.

Some of the Lesser US War Department Budget Items Included: Lobster Tails $7,000,000 King Crab $2,000,000 After the meals, the table is always a mess with these kinds of foods. There is something more visceral about eating an animal that you need to tear apart with your hands. The warriors must feast and remind themselves they are warriors. And of course we should pay for this, after all these are the men who keep us all safe and they have so much to be proud of and celebrate in their work.

I have a playlist of "classical mix" for studying and Different Trains came on. I had to turn it off. I've listened to Steve Reich's piece many dozens of times and contemplated the source of the sound samples. I've wondered if you can hear any difference in the whistles. But a voice whispered in my ear. "It's not trains this time, is it?" Sprawling warehouses. Is that a data center or is it a camp? Either way, out of sight and out of mind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Different_Trains
