"So basically the developers of a dead horse who shunned reusability ♻️ still need more tax payers’ money to make their business case work. Even ‘commercial’ launches such as for the #Amazon constellation are reported to be costing the #taxpayer 32 mil. per launch*"

county wants to build a 60m rec facility, they need to focus on infrastructure and a metered approach, i think some of it is covid money, the growth and tax hikes are hurting long time residents. lots of fields and a pool is going to invest in the people and the community but overall it will likely lose money and be a net rev drag not a big boost; there are safer and more useful investments, they need oversight and a metered rollout, make it a journey not an event #taxpayer money #community visions vs community needs #constituents
