      I mean I think it’s cool as shit if it works. It’d be pretty lit if we managed to fuck up so badly and avoid murdering a bunch of poors to fix it.

        Just wait: they’ll declare it an emergency and then authorize space slaves, working ‘round the clock to build it. Yes, they’ll be the poors, and their bodies will probably be deemed “too dangerous to remove” from the dome, so we’ll basically end up shielding the earth with the bodies of those poor people.

        Mark my words. I honestly don’t believe this is at all far from being possible, if such technology ended up existing.

        And that’s when the farm workers will suddenly be paid well and protected somewhat, because it’ll turn into a bunch of private university educated white kids taking “gap years.”
