Blue Origin Just Announced They're Going to the Moon, But Who's Paying for It? Common Sense Says Taxpayers
I swear, every time I try to scroll through my feed without getting worked up, Jeff Bezos just has to roll out another headline. Blue Origin is now claiming they're taking a 'giant leap' for space tourism—again. Hello, people!

Meanwhile, our local roads are full of potholes and the schools can't even afford paper.
