Donald Trumpās administration is threatening to withdraw federal funding for unemployment assistance in all 50 states as part of the presidentās nationwide campaign against āfraudā in government spending.
In a letter to the governors of 53 states and territories, acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling warned that the federal government would use āevery available toolā to combat āwaste, fraud and abuseā within state-run unemployment insurance programs, including āwithholding administrative funds from statesā for the first time in history.
There is no single national program for unemployment support, though the federal government partners with state agencies to support temporary financial assistance to out-of-work Americans. Nearly 2 million people are currently receiving those benefits, while roughly 229,000 people are filing initial jobless claims every week, according to the Labor Department.
I know itās easy to hate on everything Elon, but Falcon launches are about an order of magnitude cheaper than any other launch, primarily by virtue of the fact that launch vehicles arenāt single-use. Starship hasnāt done that well yet, but the estimates Iāve been able to work out put the total budget so far for that project to be as much or less than the cost of launching a single SLS launch, and it only has a lifespan of 5 launches before it gets dramatically more expensive. Falcon was cheaper to get into full operational mode than Starship, sure, but if you thought it would be easier to make one of the biggest rockets ever, then you would be mistaken.
