The liquid-fluoride thorium reactor concept has strong safety advantages over today’s nuclear reactors and the potential to implement a highly efficient and sustainable fuel cycle. It can potentially produce valuable products in addition to electrical energy that will enhance its competitiveness relative to low-cost natural gas and petroleum. source: LFTR Overview – Energy From Thorium

Cpl (Join to see) - Why waste more money on space research or planning to go to the moon or Mars.
The US national debt was about $23 trillion one more trillion added recently in 2020.
$2 trillion for CV-19 virus anti- Great Depression prevention and
$2 trillion for Covid x2
some $6 trillion to $8 trillion added to the nation debt due to the undeclared wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So the interest on this figure is over $? trillions per year
The State and Local government debt is $2.2 Trillion then and now $5.8 trillion (aka Intra-Governmental Debt is money owed by the Treasury to other government services and agencies.
Includes almost $3 trillion of the national debt is owed to the Social Security Trust.
• Social Security Trust Fund - Approximately 13% of the total national debt.
• Retirement Funds (Civilian and Military) - Approximately 9.3% of the total national debt.
• Medicare Trust Fund - Approximately 3% of the total national debt.
• The FDIC Trust Fund - Approximately 1.6% of the total national debt.
Unfunded obligated/liabilities federal spending: Federal employee pension contingent liabilities (incl. Postal service), $ 4.0 trillion,
Unfunded state and local government employee pension and medical contingent liabilities, $ 2.7 trillion.
TOTAL: $43.1 Trillion
Infrastructure debt: some $3 trillion. Plus unknown cost to fix our forest to prevent maga-wild fires.
Nearly $1.2 trillion in auto loans; nearly $1.6 trillion student loans; and $1 trillion in consumer credit mostly from credit cards.
We are in a war on science. Over population is one of the big problems.

We live in a dynastic oligarchy made up of some 47 super rich kings and some 130 billionaire princes who rule for the most part and own the main stream news media. The June 2020 homeless count found 66,400 people living on the streets, in a shelter, or in their cars and in LA, up 12.7 percent.
The richest one tenth of one percent of Americans own 17% of stocks
The richest 1% own 50% of stocks
The bottom 50% own 0.7% of stocks
From 1979 to 2019:
• wages for the top 0.1% grew more than twice as fastThe top 1.0% saw their wages grow by 160.3%; and
• In contrast, those in the bottom 90% had annual wages grow by 26.0% .
And public schools are merely public indoctrination camps.
If worker compensation had kept up with productivity gains since 1968, the current minimum wage would be more than $24.00 an hour.

Changing the norm to help stop global warming
This is a facebook group for discussion about the need to change our norm for having or breeding a child. That is civil society should believe it is dishonorable to do so and only adoption is...

Why do you believe space research needs to be a government function? The private sector has a better track record.

Cpl (Join to see) - Why would I want to waste my tax dollars on space research? We need to pay down the debt of our governments. I want tax dollars spent on reducing global warming, even though I do not believe US governments can do anything to stop global warming. I believe we are doomed.

What I hear you saying is that even private companies need to halt/freeze space exploration until the government pays off our debt. Throwing money at the climate changes is going to do what? Enrich a bureaucrat? Crony? Special interest?
