2015:
Off to a great start!
I'll ask that guy, if I ever want to make a country as shit as possible for everyone but the rich.
The rich don't stay rich without peasants to work for them and buy their shit. If everyone else dies or leaves, the rich are in trouble too.
That's why they're so keen on AI
Leaving likely won't be much of a problem since you won't have enough money to leave either. Dying on the other hand....
Most people have two feet they can use to move around
"But John Galt says we can make a rich person utopia if we want to!"
Just in case the sarcasm wasn't clear: objectivism dumb.
Yeah, start terraforming other planets please... but don't use money to do it, I want the money. I'll give it to my friends instead, but please go terraform other planets for me.
Other than Mars, I'm curious as to what other planets (plural, his words) he thinks could be terraformed. Venus is too damn hot, mercury is too close to the sun, and the rest are gas giants.
Is he proposing to colonise planets beyond our solar system?
Or they just want to make Space(X) Stations. Make them all free market economies, so they can just vent you to the 'verse when you miss your rent payment.
People are thinking about planets but there are potential habitable satellites or moons in the solar system. One of Jupiter's moon, Callisto, has surface water and potentially habitable by terraforming.
Yes, but he said planetS and moons
No, see, he gives $1 billion to his friends so that they can put $1m toward terraforming other planets
"Libertarian": zero mention of the DoD budget.
Dude is not a libertarian, he just likes to think he is. He's just another "small government" republican.
DoE is responsible for maintaining american nukes, military is not having it
I love that you don't even have to specify which department of "E" that is, you need both for that purpose
