I never thought I would say this, but poor Judas.

It's funny that they threw in the "environmentally friendly" angle. Nothing about building and launching rockets is environmentally friendly.

Maybe you can draw an analogy between decentralized services and decentralized government. The world has largely shifted away from monarchies and oligarchies in favor of democracies that intentionally spread power out among many people. You can argue that our economy needs to make the same shift for the same reasons. An Elon Musk or Tom Cook is analogous to an oligarch, with wealth at their disposal comparable to a nation-state.

That's a great idea! I should start celebrating my town's founding day. Looks like April 28 is going to be a party next year!

I have an opposite story. One of my kids went to a school that had a large and diverse immigrant population. There were something like 40 different languages spoken by the various families. The trouble was, every week somebody had a holiday from their home country that they wanted to share and celebrate. Students were constantly bringing in sweet treats and gifts and other things for their classmates. It became a huge distraction for everyone, and the school actually had to ask parents to stop celebrating so many holidays.
