Starlink satellites are (quite literally) above the law. Until Brazil develops a space force to go seize them out of orbit, it seems like Elon can do whatever the fuck he wants.

He literally told it to give the answer "in km". That's on him, not Bing.
No, by victims we mean the people using a road in the way roads were used for centuries, completely legally. The ones being hit from behind by people in too much of a hurry to use proper caution in area where Amish frequently travel and they are not the only users of the roadway.
If I drive through a neighborhood with a "Children at Play" sign and run over a kid, I can 100% guarantee you that I am not the victim. That is some very cringe logic. The road exists first for pedestrians, secondly for non-motorized vehicles, and lastly.... for automobiles.
Businesses aren't legally required to accept cash?
We're having two different conversations. I'm not here to say whether Biden was right or wrong to only hire black women for those roles. I'm not even going to pass judgement on how to redress the balance, as you put it. Those questions are way above my pay grade.
I'm merely here to say that when Republicans say "The people hiring based on DEI are the racists, not us", the data shows that the majority of Americans agree with them. Therefore, as a purely political strategy, criticizing Biden and democrats for not considering white women for certain roles is a net win because more independents will agree than disagree.
Democrats are free to say "But we have to use a calculated form of counter-racism as a cure for historical wrongs." They may even be right. It may be the only moral thing to do. Disagreeing may be evil and immoral. But none of that changes the fact that it's not a winning electoral strategy to say or focus on those things in the 2024 presidential race.
Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group.
Putting my PoliSci cap on... Most Americans would say, "Two wrongs don't make a right. Being racist today isn't a valid fix for the harms of people being racist yesterday." And that's why Republicans win when Democrats focus too much on racial issues - the 7 in 10 perceive it as a new form of racism directed at them.
Do you want to be right at all costs? Or do you want to win this election?
I'm not defending them. It is possible to describe a political reality without endorsing that reality. That's all I'm doing.
That would also be racism. Any time you use race as a hiring factor in the US, you are breaking the law and promoting racism.
Those are multiplayer games. Totally different.
