Millions of people… On a planet of billions.
Wasn’t there a Matt Damon movie about that?

Jeff: don’t worry I got this.

Has he been taking steroids?
Probably because that doesn’t pay for rent, gas, groceries, clothes, utilities, bills, or healthcare. Are you accepting “will live in space soon” as payment on your website, Jeff? No? Well fuck off then.
“I don’t understand why people on the verge or starvation and ruin aren’t happy with me indulging in pointless ego-projects?”
He’s a cunt
So, I’m not digging through all my comments to find it, but I’ve said a while back they’re planning to take the money, colonize space and take enough regular people to be slaves and leave the rest of us here to deal with the mess they made.
God only knows the mess they can make here, while making a worse mess of Earth and maybe the galaxy.
So you’re saying they’re Gou’lds, then? Who has Stargate future on their doomsday bingo card?
Robert Heinlein or some other sci-fi writer wrote about it in the 60s or 70s, and the ruling class seems intent on using dystopian sci-fi as instruction manuals, so sure, pick your character from any tale.
goa’ulds have the luxury of using a stargate or a ha’tak to escape a planet when the people revolt. these fools think they have a spaceship to escape with.
Nah, they’ll stay where it’s best for a person to be, which is on earth. Space is a great place to visit but it’s not gonna be a more pleasant place to stay than earth for a long time if ever
antarctica is like a billion times nicer than space, and they’re not moving there, are they?
They have to finish warming the planet enough to thaw Antarctica before they move there and start mining it
its also the driest desert on earth. its free real estate.
I mean, they are stupid cocaine-brained man-children, but it would be history’s greatest fuckup to *choose * space over Earth. No matter how much we manage to fuck it up, it will always be more suitable for life than space or mars.
it will always be more suitable for life than space
Not always. Eventually, our sun will expand and render Earth too hot for life.
Do we need to leave Earth today? No. Do we need to leave Earth soon? No. Is it wise to make long-term plans? Yes.
It’s definitely their plans. That is why posadism is the next step of the unstoppable human progress. Communism from the sky.
Why the FUCK would I want to be living in space? Bitch, the food air water and gravity are HERE.
Because tech billionaires can charge money for all of that in space!
But in space amazon can own them!
NGL I want off this planet.
There’s nowhere else to go.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

Soon, millions of people will be living in space
Jeff Bezos, This post
Yes, that’s obviously horseshit if by ‘soon’, you mean the next 25 to 50 years.
We do not have anywhere close to the technology or infrastructure or underlying economic/sociopolitical integrity to be able to attempt even getting 10,000 regularly people living in space within a decade from now.
Just because Bezos says something doesn’t mean it is true or reasonable or accurate.
Bezos is giving you a fanciful dream to embrace, while the world that he himself disproportionately shaped and transformed to his will… is actively crumbling and falling apart, for everyone with a net worth under ~10 to ~100 million dollars.
He says he is planning to build an at least mostly self sufficient solar panel manufacturing complex, on the moon, using moon dust as input material.
Amazon could not figure out how to make a working grocery store with a contactless payment paradigm.
They recently had a little bit of an oopsie after letting go of thousands of employees… that resulted in an internet brownout, that caused something like $200 billion of economic damage.
They are notorious for running their logistics services via horrific working conditions.
Remember when aerial drones were gonna deliver all our packages to us?
You… you trust this guy, these people, when they just … say they’re workshopping something, that it’s all gonna work out just fine?
Don’t get me wrong, Blue Origin is a lot less ludicrous of an operation than SpaceX, but … this is still a fanciful, near delusional level, aspirational goal from Bezos, not some kind of master plan of 5 5 year plans all meticulously worked out, accounting for every possible contingency, that is just guaranteed to work.
I want off this planet onto a different earth-like planet in another star system, but even the most delusional billionaire doesn’t think that we’ll have access to other systems anytime soon.
I like this planet, they can fuck off.
Why did Jeff Bezos not distribute his earthly posessions across the world to everyone already? He will live in space soon anyway.
Soon™

Ok sure but will I be able to afford food?
you can order your daily ration of amazon goo from amazon neural interface.
You don’t have to order it. It’s regularly injected into your stomach to ensure acceptable productivity levels during your 16 hour work day. No more wasteful lunch breaks!
You will have a shock collar and like it.
I long for days when tech CEOs weren’t so vocally obsessed with space, such that taking about space development could lead to interesting discussion of what a realistic timeframe actually is and what progress can be made, rather than just an assumption that one is a Musk or Bezos fanboy that actually believes we can do the work of centuries in 20 years somehow by giving the people that aready have too much money, even more money.
Unless I’m on a federation starship I don’t want to live in space. I want to live on earth where my species belongs
In Space!!
where slavery laws don’t exist
hey now this dude wanted to go to space to escape capitalism, not to spread it. he’s infinitely better than this dickhead jeff bozo.
Jeff, my boy: Newsflash — humanity has ALWAYS lived in space. We’ve got an awesome orbital station that manages food, climate, entertainment, and almost everything else we’ve ever needed.
Are you calling for us to abandon ship for an inferior product?
One wholly owned, serviced, and supplied by Amazon.
But don’t worry. Orbital Prime is only $999 a year and includes unlimited deliveries and six return trips to land. (For now)
