When did Dem's become absurdly societally and self conservative?

But why are we sure he hasn't moved on to harder stuff? Cocaine seems like it would be in his wheelhouse by now.
you need to build a sustainable ecosystem
that can keep humans alive without constant restocking from Earth,
and it's a much harder job that the rocket stuff.
And the orbital infrastructure for regular mars runs hasn’t even started being built.
But he’s running out of time.
If the bones are whole, in a heap, on mars? That’s the best outcome.
Falling down on mars as ash? Second best.
Orbiting mars forever? Third.
And this is assuming he cares about keeping humans (besides himself) alive at all, under *any* circumstances, which feels... unlikely.
OTOH, with my 2000 PT Cruiser, a year after it came out they gave it a firmware update and it accelerated faster.
This is not a man who is going to get our asses to Mars.

We used to have a great used book store in town with a huge SF collection, and even so it took a long time for me to find the second book, because there was clearly a Conspiracy trying to prevent it.
He could become the most beloved billionaire in America by buying up medical debt at fractions of pennies on the dollar and retiring it.
Sad, really. Because if he had solved world hunger, he'd be that billionaire today. He just asked the UN for the cost. And then did something else.
Or buying public praise by buying up and retiring medical debt.
“Do I… want to make my saving throw against ketamine?”
“Evidently not.”
