China successfully landed a probe on the moon today. This was the first successful lunar probe mission in over 40 years.

Regardless of your opinion on China, take a moment to appreciate how fucking cool that is.

      It's such pure ideology that even the most rigid capitalist understands that the best thing you could do for the American economy is float people with a shit ton of money to stimulate demand and they won't do it. The thing that would save and enhance your beloved free market 'Murrican capitalism and you just won't do it, you fucking worms.
