Two of the German military’s new spy satellites appear to have failed in orbit

Did OHB really not test the satellite antennas on the ground?

@arstechnica Wouldn't be the first time.
Years ago, one of the first launches I worked, we noticed the telemetry we were getting from the satellite kept stopping and starting. And we couldn't command it either; we'd start to send a command, and it would disappear from the screen.
Turned out that the company that designed and built the satellite cut the antennas too short in an attempt to save money.
Multi-million dollar satellite, and we barely managed to save it.
For a few dollars. 🙄

Corporate profits drove more than half of recent US inflation.

What's the GOP’s response?

They don't just want to extend Trump's tax cuts for the rich, they want lower corporate taxes too.

They're fine with corporations siphoning money from you and keeping more of the spoils.

Unemployment has been at or below (mostly below) 4% since the end of 2021.

4 years ago, Trump called it "joyous" &"stupendous" that unemployment was only 13.3%.

In the "booming" Reagan years, unemployment averaged 7.5%.

Pres. Biden is presiding over historically strong growth.

Why are multimillionaires and billionaires like Peter Thiel, Rupert Murdoch, Travis Kalanick, Steven Mnuchin, and others are rallying behind Trump?

Yes, the tax cuts. But there's more.

As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.”
