Why we rebelled against our cousins across the pond.

The Trump Nominees
What they have not done, and will not do.
The Gundo
I’ve lived here for over four decades, but I hadn’t noticed that it’s apparently become a major new tech hub, with a new nickname, despite the hostile California business environment.

But it seems emblematic that SpaceX started here, over two decades ago, before they outgrew it.
