I don’t know where y’all get the idea that I want humans to escape from Earth. That would be incredibly stupid.
We need to go to space for resources to increase living standards at home and avoid further ecological destruction. For instance, the only good sources of helium-3 (an excellent fuel for fusion) is mining from the moon or gas collecting from gas giants. Nothing is alive in space, so there aren’t downsides to mining there like there is on Earth. Socialism is also the only way to prevent space resources from only bulking Jeff Bezos’ (or his childrens’) pockets.
I, for one, do not think socialism means forever stalling at 2030s-era tech.
Will this happen before or after Trump is in office? I feel like if the capitalists initiate the collapse during Biden’s admin, they could get away with a lot more stuff under Trump.
They could also be changing stocks into cash simply because they expect higher interest rates for it under Trump.
