Just saying, this is only being manufactured at one refinery right now, yeah? Maybe there would be a good place to protest.

And let's not forget her cells are the foundation of modern vaccine research, without them we'd still have waves of Polio and who knows what else. Even outside of the financial aspect we owe a lot to Henrietta Lacks as a species.

And it is beyond cruel that she was used like a lab rat, like many Black Americans have been through the country's history. It's not about the degree of harm, IMO, sure they didn't cut off her arms, but she was a systematic victim of our medical industry and given no compensation or credit for the advancements in global medicine during her time.

Starlink has already cut access to front line Ukrainians before, forcing them to hold off on advancing due to lack of communication.

Starlink has benefitted immensely from the war, so it's not a purely humanitarian desire to help Ukrainians. Free publicity and a guaranteed market share when only a handful of people ever even heard of Starlink is what they were after, IMO.

Couldn't the US nationalize it and then set up an agency to maintain the network/ensure it doesn't get shut off again by Elon Musk?

Edit: Obviously I mean the US should do an imminent domain / purchase first, so they have access to the satellites first, smh.

Both of your comments are tbh. I don't get the sarcasm out of the blue, it just ends up fuelling a nonsense feud.
