It's one of those things that boggles me. People will happily hundreds of dollars a month for a 'service' they barely use and is notorious for finding ways to not honor providing the service for any number of reasons.
But the second you rephrase it as a tax, even a tax that would cost them less and provide them better services, they just don't want any part of it and cling to the broken model like any kind of tax is an impediment of their rights.
Been a while since I've seen this episode, but the sum of it was needs of the many.
IIRC he and his companions were squatters, hiding out on the moon since before DS9/Terok Nor was built. No real right to be there they just setup camp one day and stayed. There is an implication he's clinging to the memories and trauma of the occupation in very unhealthy ways and not moving on, though the episode doesn't do a great job imo of addressing that.
Meanwhile, Bajor is in tatters post occupation (think Europe Jun-Dec 1945) and desperately trying to rebuild and get some sense of normalcy for the citizens, cities are dealing with food and resource insecurities and what natural resources the planet did have are heavily depleted due to the occupation.
Kira is sent by the government to evacuate everyone on the moon, because the moon is tectonic active, meaning with a simple boring process they can capture a lot of energy which can be pushed through replicators to produce food and building material for citizens displaced on Bajor. The number given in the series is hundreds of thousands, though realistically if used even somewhat efficiently millions of Bajorans could gain some quality of life up to what most people would consider livable rather than simply sustenance driven.
The drilling process would make the area uninhabitable and potentially overflowing with lava, and the government is getting tired of waiting. This guy and his commune were refusing to move, even though it would ultimately mean death to stay. Hence his stance of 'if I leave, I die.' implying he just doesn't care and clinging to trauma from the occupation rather than getting help and salvaging what was left of his life.
TL;DR PTSD survivor refusing assistance and treatment, and actively preventing others from getting help for their own problems, given some serious tough love to force them onto the path of recovery and denying his death wish.
Lawyers aren't supposed to lie but also represent their clients in the best possible light to try and get sympathy of the judge, jury (if present) and public opinion in general.
Not to sympathize with the guy but seems evidence is pretty solid. All he can do is try to spin into something it's not.
It's AOC all over again. Someone who barely would have been a blip on the radar given free air time by people trying to sabotage them and just boosting their influence far beyond what they could have hoped to achieve organically.
It's such a hilariously dumb idea I hope the tech bros sink millions into it.
Lets make a data center we can't maintain, upgrade or access for any practical reason. Waiting for the suggestions to put them in geostationary orbits so that way their latency is even higher but going to struggle staying powered when in Earth's shadow. Or get put in the Earth-Sun L1 so they always have solar power but now have to have significant more radiators on top of even MORE latency beyond beyond the moon's orbit.
If they were capable of learning from their mistakes they wouldn't be conservatives. Doesn't speak highly of the democrats though being unable to unseat most of them.
Trump accidentally does the right thing for the worst reasons possible.
Good thing the EPA exists and hasn't been gutted and disassemble over the last 50 years... Oh wait.

You can also pretty much garuntee he's demanded sexual favors from her and now she realizes she's 100% expendable.

I've never met a nice South African
Damn, I gotta try harder, didn't make the woke cut.
So they are admitting it's a bold face lie meant to lure people in then kick them out when the people try to get what was promised to them.

Sounds like one of Dump's.
Literally every time he opens his mouth is an embarrassment. Even without opening his mouth sometimes.
Moscow Mitch, for the uninitiated.
I demand a rematch
And the republicans said he couldn't govern.

Watch her get fired soon as she turns 30
Muh grassy knoll.

Practice what you preach and go back to Africa you illegal immigrant.
