@NosirrahSec So the Outer Space Treaty says that it has to go back to the country of origin. But it doesn't specify who you have to give it back to.
Maybe Boeing would like to buy SpaceX parts?
@sundogplanets @NosirrahSec Is SpaceX scrupulously living up to its responsibilities under the Outer Space Treaty?
Or are they protected but not bound #WilhoitsLaw ?

Just another prime example of #wilhoitslaw: The core value of conservatism is that there is an in-group of people who are protected by the rules, and another one who are bound by them but not protected.
Instead of having rule of law, you have rule by law and immunity from persecution. Instead of starting from what, they begin from who and make up the rest.
The untrammeled greed of the founders of Philz Coffee -- and the financial looters who are buying the company -- is exceeded only by their pure contempt for the employees whose shares in the company are being vaporized.
How can this be legal? Because "capitalism" rules.

This is the only true rule of conservatism.
And it was made in the context of pointing out that we have no other politics than #conservatism left.
All parties today protect the wealthy at the price of hurting the non-wealthy. Only different flavours of implementing #wilhoitslaw remain in power.
This needs to change.
