Have they finally run out of money and need a new source of cash to burn?

The JD Vance hillbilly elegy thing. Please don’t hate me, I read this in 2017/18. It was a Christmas present and in my country was hyped at the time as the book you HAVE to read to understand why Americans from the flyover states like Trump and why they would vote for him.

I read the book. Not very interesting. Still didn’t understand why…

I’m not a book person, but I think Andromeda Strain is an interesting book. I like how it displays the (from today’s point of view) horribly outdated technology as advanced high-tech.

One of the cases of a mildly science fiction book, that got overtaken by reality.
