    reading comprehension: none

    Don’t know, man: kinda think the potential loss of life from a failing rocket crashing into people matters somewhat more than words. Maybe?

      Then it’s a good thing you’re not in charge of risk assessment, because the potential loss of life from a failing rocket crashing into the ocean pales in comparison to the loss of life caused by the right-wing shift that Twitter has facilitated, both worldwide and particularly in the USA

        How do you control the course of a failing rocket? Are you claiming such misdesign is impossible?

        The fact remains that a physical potential of death & injury exists in what is technically a missile of significant weight carrying enough explosive substance to escape orbit that is entirely absent from words. The difference between non-0 and 0 possibility of death/injury.

        Unless magic exists, words are incapable. Do you claim magic exists?

        Again, total lack of perspective.
