So far, of the 2 billionaires who have launched rockets this week, neither has gone where no man has gone before. I am no rocket scientist, or a nasa engineer but i’m not getting a “making progress for science and the knowledge of mankind” vibe here. man has been to the fuckin moon, that's way further than these captains of industry are going in these wildly expensive giant dildos they’ve built that are blasting off all over every screen, everywhere.
The vibe i’m getting is a big ego jerk off. is anyone impressed here? i see homeless people everywhere i go, i know that there are more food insecure people than should be at all acceptable in modern society, i know that the right medical diagnosis could cost the life savings of someone who earned it through decades of hard work. that isn't anywhere near the amount of human suffering that could be helped by the money spent by these billionaires on their flaming, unavoidable cock trophies.
it should also be noted that last week some of the ocean was on fire, the highest temperature on earth of all time was recorded, and people in new york can see the smoke from the wildfires that are happening on the west coast. Are these guys building lifeboats off of earth? i am sure they know more than we do about the climate situation, what with having the funds and influence they have.
maybe i should give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they're working up to building an ark for everyone, when the flood of pollution makes the planet uninhabitable. maybe they're just running out to space to pick up dinner for everyone starving to death…it's isn't like one of them owns a multinational supermarket chain with the capacity to assist in that kind of thing.
no.
these are capitalists in late stage capitalism. there is nothing commendable about this, i won't hear any argument from a media outlet that they own that it’s beneficial to anyone, i don't care what old nasa heros they bring. i’m not at all impressed. This is all very sci-fi: If it is about terraforming and colonizing mars (for mankind), i know that most of us wouldn't be invited anyway, and the required oxygen we’d need on the red planet would only be included with our prime subscription.
What happened to the corporate overlords in total recall? It's been so long, i forget.
I am not a spacefaring billionaire, but maybe you can help out with that. I’ll save you a seat on the starship EvTerprise…..
ok, i apologize for that, that wasn't very funny. if you were about to buy me a coffee, you probably changed your mind when i tried to make a star trek pun…using my own name…ahhh not good.
