      Imagine “working” in space, finally unburdened by the restraints of labor law, workers rights, or those pesky wages. Pay no mind to the fact that all communication will be controlled by your enslaver, since no earth-bound authority will be able to save you anyways

          You load 16 tons*

          *please note: on asteroid 786-gamma 16 tons is many times what it would be on Earth, due to the low gravity.

            I’d eat my last sock for low gravity even if it meant taking a pay cut. Well, maybe not, depends on how much of a cut we’re talking. Try loading a ton a day on the neutron line when the grav compensator is on the fritz and you’ll be missing that cushy asteroid life.

    Maybe, just maybe, we should set out goals to work towards, line science, food for everyone, healthcare, quality time, good life, the arts, …

    Or just hoarding money? What do you think?

    Why would anyone trust anything that a billionaire says? They are fucking liars and will say anything that makes the number go up.

    I really, really hope we get another oceangate scenario if one of these shitheads jumps into an AI built rocket.
