So the pension to keep Bezos in space didn't have enough signatures huh...bummer.

Wonderful! The billionaires can escape the destruction they caused on Earth.

Who cares?

He returned? Dammit.

Space: where the rich feel safe from the rest of us. They will build space stations to live in while the rest of us die.

Fuck me. With all the shit going on in the world, a billionaire tax evader texting another billionaire tax evader on their super cool rocket ship ride is not news.

When is Trump going to space?
