They're so obsessed with buying up as much land as possible, I say we send them hurtling toward it from space, so they can become one with that which they love so much!

Real talk, they know there's enough mineral wealth in the asteroid belt that even some of it could make either A) everyone effectively rich or B) everyone a slave to their massive wealth forever. They're voting with their rockets.

It's B, the more money we have the less power they have over us.

That plus the land grab that always happens when a new unsettled area is colonized. Yeah the moon is a horrible place to live, but if you get a parcel of land for free, and a place to live safely there, I bet a lot of people would be tempted.

Nah that's too lofty for them, i think in a just world they would have to produce labor like the rest of us, death and space is too kind a fate. (Not that labor is bad, but they think its a fate worse than death)
