Perhaps we can do a prisoner exchange with Besos and Musk for that American astronaut stranded on the ISS.

As always, Matt -- spot on. Mr. Bezos cannot be ravenous...he is actually spoon-fed by his fans in our ever-evolving clown of a congress...second verse? same as the first...

So, a couple of things: Good snark as usual, and I love snark but snark isn’t worthwhile unless we can use it to highlight the alternative or the position we are in favor of. So, are we saying going into space is not a worthwhile goal? Or is it ridiculous to specify a black woman for the trip? Is it really important that a black women goes to space? Or are we saying the funding for the expedition should come solely from the government till (which is still taxpayer money after all, and ends up in the pockets of the companies that contract with the government). So what is it you are advocating for? I would like to hear a Bari Weiss style debate on this topic. Just like the one you did, Matt, about US intervention in foreign wars. Don’t get me wrong, I love your style, but I think more discourse is important too. I haven’t worked out everything I think about this.

Sometimes snark is its own reward : ) Unless you're suggesting Matt has jumped the snark with this article.

When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom: "Let it be."
