Thanks to greedy fucks like Elon Musk, whole generations are already starting to be denied the view of the night sky that people had for millennia prior.

I wish there were some regulation about light pollution. It's bad for even the health of humans and animals due to less effective sleep. Same with the constant sounds you get from living in town.
Tangential, but I live in a rural area, and everyone has a light outside that's just always on once it gets dark. This is a problem because it draws bugs in, disrupting their normal behavioral patterns.
That's electrification, not Musk.
I like watching satellites zip across the sky ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's looks like flys swarming a rotting carcass.
God bless hell on earth.
