As per announcement that we're not taking prisoners anymore (i.e., the Cultural Update), the Heir wants to connect a disconnection.  He wants to connect between the tragic oil spill in California and the so-called space tourism industry.  It was less than a week ago that on one of the Heir's ethereal space channels on YouTube that the Ed Snowden-lite Elon Musk made an editorial proclamation against A.I., and regardless of whether you agree with him or not, the Heir doesn't believe that Musk's opinions count for anything.  The space channel features compelling space animations and space age music the Heir finds pleasant and entertaining.  The a/v content uses as voiceovers *factual* commentaries by actual *scientists* about things like if and when we can make it to an earth-like planet outside our solar system, or whether we'll achieve warp drive, or whether we can beat Relativity in space travel so that people don't have to travel thousands of years into the future to find the planet Vulcan or something, only to come back to find everyone they knew is dead.  The A.I. video, which the Heir only saw the thumbnail of, and did not dignify the Elon Muskization of society to bother watching, he sees as an *unwelcome* intrusion that he sees contrary to the space channel's mission.  Elon Musk is just a corporate executive.  He's not a scientist, so the Heir wonders what makes *his* opinions better or superior to anyone else's, particularly since Elon Musk also spends time smoking pot on YouTube.  Add that to the fact that you had that oil spill happen, because here's the Heir's take on that.  We're still gathering the facts to present on audio as to what's causing the spill, but the Heir suspects the oil is in a pipeline that's meant for a refinery that *specifically* makes fuel for the NASA launch pads, including Elon Musk's SpaceX program, and the space tourist launches that take place.  The Heir's wondering if another Billionaire Space Launch is due in two weeks, and if it is, the Heir expects an official report on the spill to be intentionally delayed *after* the launch, and for audio coverage of the spill to follow suit, because Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos, and Richard Branson the Heir suspects as not wanting coverage of an oil spill to be an embarrassment to them the next time they want all other media to cover them going into space.

  The Heir asks the progressives accordingly, while we're both walking down the street, "While we're trying to promote voting rights and fight voting restrictions, what exactly is *democratic* about our being made ignorant of the oil spill just so the billionaires can go back to space again?"
