  2. A mí, no sé, antes de ir a salvar #mujeres del #machismo de otros paises, o decir que no sé quién no puede llevar velo (que las tocas no no nos tocan los #cojones, por lo que sea) me plantearía no financiar a #OpusDei con colegios concertados. Y otras movidas de #favor. Se me ocurre, no sé, llámame #radical. Y mira que no hablo de #religion. Que no se financie, que cada quien se pague sus #rituales. Y que se investigue a esta como una #secta.

  3. A quotation from Cicero

    What is the law? A thing that ought neither to be swayed by favor, nor be shattered by force, nor be corrupted by power.
     
    [Quod enim est ius civile? Quod neque inflecti gratia neque perfringi potentia neque adulterari pecunia debeat.]

    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) Roman orator, statesman, philosopher
    Pro Caecina [For Aulus Caecina], ch. 26 / sec. 73 (c. 69 BC) [tr. @sentantiq (2013)]

  4. A quotation from John Scalzi

    Rich people show their appreciation through favors. When everyone you know has more money than they know what to do with, money stops being a useful transactional tool. So instead you offer favors. Deals. Quid pro quos. Things that involve personal involvement rather than money. Because when you’re that rich, your personal time is your limiting factor.

    John Scalzi (b. 1969) American writer
    Lock In, ch. 3 [Shane] (2014)

  10. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are not altogether worthless. It is a pleasant surprise to ourselves.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 113 (1955)

  11. A quotation from Ben Franklin

    The cringing Train of Pow’r, survey;
    What Creatures are so low as they!
    With what obsequiousness they bend!
    To what vile actions condescend!
    Their Rise is on their Meanness built,
    And Flatt’ry is their smallest Guilt.

    Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
    Poor Richard (1741 ed.)

  15. #SpacePolitics
    “It got funded as a #rocket to #nowhere, and we at #NASA had to figure out something to do with it,” #Garver says. Legacy contractors like #Boeing continued to receive large bonus payments 💰 for working on the #SLS, despite delays and mushrooming #costs.
    Critics of the #SLS argue that the rocket is #unsustainable by #design, relying on an old and potentially quite #expensive way to get to #space. Much of SLS is a holdover from the #spaceshuttle. But while the shuttle #orbiter, #engines, and external #tanks were designed to be #reusable, SLS and its engines were not.

    “They’ve designed a rocket that is basically #unsustainable, because it’s completely #throwaway. The only bit that comes back is #Orion

    “Depending on how you look at it, the #SLS is either a product of a #broken #system that curries #favor to #wealthy 💰 industries or an example of representative #democracy working as it should,” technologyreview.com/2023/01/0
