MSandt Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Steve Jobs recognized talent and could pick winners. Tom is listening to people who are telling him they can build him spaceships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be so convincing, I think he may actually believe some of the things he says deep down, but he presents them in troll fashion to avoid backlash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, but perhaps it bares repeating. I work as supply specialist for the government. I was on a system called Firefinder, the AN/TPQ-36 and 37. Its a radar system that detects enemy missles and intercepts them. The system took over 2000 people, 20 years to develop and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Not to mention having to work with a government depot to stock, store, and issue parts. That was just to get the thing fielded. That doesn't include yearly sustainment, because ya know, shit breaks, parts go obsolete, systems need to be reset and rebuilt, and all other kinds of stuff. This costs at least $20mil a year just to sustain. Please tell me how Tom will do this with $2mil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSandt Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 And the cost of producing just one unit of F-35 Lightning costs around $100 million (my country is considering purchasing 100 units, btw) even now that they can basically mass-produce them. And Tom wants to build a spaceship from scratch for $50 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Tom wants to build a spaceship from scratch for $50 million. Yeah, I mean people don't have a clue what goes into this. Part ABC goes into spaceship. Where do you acquire part ABC? Where do you store it? How often does it fail? Could the supplier stop making it? Who comes up with the design and manual that says you need part ABC? Who determines if part ABC meets EPA standards? Who inspects it? Who determines if parts ABC is a major repaired item, a minor repaired Item? Who can repair part ABC? Who establishes contract for buying and repair part ABC? Any classified technology? Now multiply Part ABC by like 20,000 parts. There you have it. Tom is like a 3 year old kid trying to explain rocket science to you by saying "Daddy I drew a cool picture today of a rocket that will go to Mars". You just smile and say "Cool, thats no neat!" to humor him. Its a complete joke. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 This is kind of like that episode of South Park when they are building a ladder to Kenny in heaven and everyone in the town thinks it's so cool of them to do that and chase a dream, when in reality they were just trying to get their money back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 I was actually going to troll the "contact us" of the TTS site, I started to write a message about Tom inventing a time machine to go back and get the sane version of himself that we all loved so much more. I was on the fence about it because I am sure they don't read that stuff.. Then my computer did a mandatory restart right in the middle of me filling it out and I took that as a sign I shouldn't send it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kyle_ Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 @Olidamus Um, heard of government waste much? The government basically drives up the cost of all of these projects just to ensure people are being paid (the right ones anyway). Most of it is a scam to get our tax money anyway.

Whoosh, the sound of you dodging my argument. Government waste is a separate issue. Sure there is government waste, but rarely in these types of projects. Can you give me an example of government waste in supply that was avoidable? Would love to hear that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're equating a massive government project and it's baggage to Tom's. If I made my own cake, it would be cheaper than the one you'd buy at Whole Foods. Would it be exactly the same, no, but it wouldn't have to cost the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tom is going to build spaceships and time machines; he won't be able to do it without government help. It would be impossible. I think he's even said this. The kind of technology and the kind of equipment only comes from government contractors that will rip you off right and left. When they produce a part that no one else produces, they can charge $10K for something that costs $500 to make, and if you want your project to succeed, you'll pay the piper. Clearly you don't know how any of this works Kyle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Didn't Tom hire a dude from Lockheed Martin? You do know that is a government contractor that charges us like $1500 for parts that cost them $30 to make, right? Supply 101. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously not doing it from scratch, but it won't be under government control. Obviously you haven't been paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
