Having driven modern Unimogs, I can say with certain that you can absolutely design a vehicle to carry heavy loads, go almost anywhere, be a truly multi-roll vehicle, and have virtually no blind spot. Has virtually no bonnet though, and no chrome wheels, so won’t compensate for having a tiny dick in the same way as a giant pickup though

My god. That… that’s enough reality tv, thank you
You’ve enunciated that really well. I’ve never really tried put that into words, it’s just something that I’m surprised that more people don’t see. It drives me nuts that everything has to be given the same credence no matter how obvious the disparity of moral weight
Look after your tools, as the old saying goes.
Why is that headline phrased as if both statements carry equal weight?
It’s not the only problem with them, and potentially not the biggest either - there is no plan to remove or maintain them when they die other than de-orbiting them into the upper atmosphere. A recent study suggests that this will critically harm the ozone layer, and that adding metallic particles in the quantities implied by the number of starlink satellites that Elmo plans to launch could do far more damage to the ozone layer than our previous attempts to screw it up!
