Today I learned that rockets don’t fly.
Incredible

That was a stunt car that wasn't flying. No aerodynamics at play, just thrust.
Incredible. Simply incredible
Did the vehicle lift off the ground using force against the surrounding air, or using force against the ground?
Vehicle jumped off the solid ground, did not lift off using the fluid around it.
Therefore, the vehicle did not demonstrate “flight.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Roadster's cold-gas thrusters expel gas for reaction thrust (Newton's 3rd law), not force against the ground. This works like rockets in vacuum, enabling powered lift and mid-air control without relying on air or ground.

Most common response is “well they got lucky in the labor market and now that they’ve been in the workforce for 50 years they’re living like it and I hate them for it.”
That’s called “jealousy” and “covetousness”
There’s a mentality(I’m not accusing @politicalmath of this, btw) that because they’re boomers, they should give up-or be made to give up-the life they spent their entire life making.
And to people who think that way, I sincerely hope when you reach retirement you get exactly what you wish on others

You do not, in fact, "need to pay heed to what they are saying" when "they" are burning down your country, and idiocy like this is only going to serve to further embolden the vandals.
But this is what France voted for, and they're getting it, good and hard.
I’m all for getting rid of social security entirely.
But the rest is just being bitter and resentful at success that took lifetime to earn

yeah boomers are untouchable they worked hard to accumulate that $5.6M portfolio, endless SS checks (will be flat out gone for zoomers), annuities, pensions, etc.
They deserve that 4 bed 3 bath house for them and their toy poodle

They just need fresh paint in their classrooms, more pencils and protractors, and better paid teachers.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris. These brave warriors for justice must receive immediate humanitarian aid, and their safety must be guaranteed in accordance with international law. Failure to comply will leave us no choice but to bring a case before the ICJ, in close cooperation with that renowned champion of human rights, Afghanistan.
