That Supreme Court decision was made by judges owned by a religious right extremist group, the Federalist Society. It is a completely incompetent decision for a democracy.
This is a no brainer.
Example: Musk, in all his eccentric ideology was promised the moon by the MAGA jerks and he went for it. He gathered up all the money he could from his companies and set himself on a path to help himself to unfettered treasury money without regulation.
WHO CAN COMPETE?
A democracy is based on a level playing field for all candidates. We even set aside monies allocated through a simple question on federal tax returns and even that measure is scoffed at now
Musk bought himself a president so he could obtain USA treasury wealth. He doesn’t want NASA regardless of the helping hand they provided. Musk could not have been the least bit successful without NASA and now they are getting in the way of his plutocratic ideological dreamscape. NASA no longer sees the moon as a realistic goal and sees Mars a more viable stepping off point to interstellar.
That is where the space agency should have its focus.
The idea that Musk could be outspent to buy candidates is idiotic ideology that removes democracy from the people. That is the truth. It is now witnessed as the truth. Unfortunately, the people are too blind to see it and now they are stuck with losers at the top of the USA government.
