Do billionaires want more, because they’re saving up for their asteroid? Or an underground “paradise?” Maybe some are exploring the idea of a private, floating ocean city?
Does this sound like crazy and farfetched sci-fi?
Think about it: why do the billionaires want more and more; want to drill, frack and mine this MF planet into obliteration? What is all this money for?
First of all, of course, duh, it’s about power, since all their every material desire costs peanuts to them. But second, it’s about the future, about what do you do, when you’ve raped and pillaged, and now there are literal and figurative glowing cinders, of what had been.
So, either they were really stupid, or they knew what they were doing, so they’ve worked hard at being prepared: for the worst.
Ergo, those asteroids, those underground “developments,” and in a kind of ludicrous way, the new mega-cruise ships that carry 4-5,000 onboard.
Now, about that asteroid, “I’ll sell it to you in a package: transport there, materials and labor for building your settlement…and of course an inter-solar system certificate of ownership, all the latest in survival technology…”
How else can they rape, pillage (sometimes, even literally) and still survive in the shattered land. Well, they know they can’t—nor can you—but they can afford to get away, even though it was their “business” that poisoned the planet.
Sounds like a good business plan.
Poison one planet, cast it aside: find another.
