My argument is that despite being a great product it's not a sustainable business and it may also be a massive leap backwards for earth as a planet if we kill our orbit with too many satelites. Though I'd focus on the business aspect. Their calculations are uber optimistic and don't' take into account that with growth come extra costs. So it's more of a case "use it til it lasts" since I doubt IN ITS CURRENT FORM it will ever be profitable.

According to the research firm Quilty Space, SpaceX's Starlink satellite Internet business is now profitable.

"According to Bloomberg's sources, SpaceX's accounting was "more of an art than a science" and the much-hyped system isn't actually profitable, despite Musk's assurances."

Also literally some big shot CEO accused Musk of doing an Enron via creative accounting.

So come on Sethi I know you want to argue but you are also anal about the details and not trusting shit on face value so why do you trust "everything I do blows up in my face" guy.

that i could support, would keep the nice tight race day schedule and still allow some lower tiers the chance to race on sunday
interesting. I suppose in this system there wouldn't be protected riders either? caus' if there is, it seems like it could get pretty complicated for the casual observer to follow.

I really don't know what to think of the "no protection proposition" to be honest. seems like having protected riders is a good way to ensure the consistently top riders are up there. it's a way for the big brands to guarantee their "investment" makes it to the big show, and on to the telly. But then I see the potential for abuse. Not saying that was the case, but I saw an accusation levied at Finn this weekend that he "gamed the system" and saved himself and his energy for the final...
