If I’m not mistaken, Walter Raleigh had to go to the tower over the debt he incurred but was pardoned by the queen because of his favor with her.I dunno about that. Most of his assets are here. Most of the resources propping him up in the vacuum of space are shipped from America to those magic space cylinders. And his cellular/satellite connectivity is based on what America's space infrastructure allows him to access.
He'd be no different than the Roanoke colonists if America stopped sending him supplies in space. He'd also be a sitting duck if America decided to attack him for breaking human rights, similar to how natzis were powerless after US involvement in ww2. Not because of technological advancement of the us(Germany had us beat) but because of the sheer amount of resources this place can throw at him.
Now of course this will change after a few hundred years as colonies become independent, no different from how Canada no longer needs the UK. But that'll be a while...
You will get paid in asteroids dustCan you imagine working for lex Bezos in space![]()
Let the poor stay here and fight it out over limited resources and eventually kill each other and then the rich come back after the extinction occurs. They would probably be on some overlord shyt making sure no nukes are used so as to preserve the earth but allowing dictators to run amok and let the natural disasters go unchecked. All the while selling the guns for a profit to those left here.I know were going to have a great population crunch in the next 100 years, but we're also going to trash the earth before we have the technology to have millions let alone billions in space colonies.
Bezos dream is for that scenario, the more likely reality is a super advanced space station for the rich, while the poor stay on earth.
Earth is by far the best planet in the entire solar system, i can't understand this fascination with space.
There is nothing for us out there except death and desolation![]()
Some people scream “I support the vaccine mandates! It’s for the betterment of society. Get the vaccine, or don’t eat!”.
That’s just the beginning trial run, dummies. In the future, if/when they say “Take that ass to Space, or die!”. These very same stupid ass idiots will be crying and screaming about how unfair it is.
fukk it. Do your thing, Bezos. There’s entirely too many stupid sheep muthafukkas that exist on this planet that deserve everything that’s coming to them. Send those clowns first.

They'd have to confiscate all guns first. Should be easy since coli is anti gun
Nah, they would just have to ramp up the cost of living and limit the job opportunities.
When people can't afford shelter and find gainful employment, they will start robbing each other to survive.
People who aren't willing to commit crime will see the colonies as an opportunity to move to a safer environment. People who commit crimes will be shipped off to prison on an asteroid to do hard labour.
Amazes me that people cannot think in consideration of how humans have behaved for centuries.
Seldom happens. They (God) will cleanse the earth with a flood and replenish it before they allow that too happen.

it really sounds like the jehovah witness philosophy with chosen humans inhabiting a new earth.
