LOL that's not how capitalism works and let's face it: countries aren't interested in space programs anymore
Yay Elysium!!!! I ALWAYS wanted that movie to be the dystopia we ended up with! It seemed TOO realistic.
Except the med beds will just be normal health care.
Elysium had it backwards. The billionaires don't want to live in space leaving the workers to live in poverty on the surface. The billionaires want the workers to run space factories while they turn the earth into a big hunting reserve.
Other than the whole "factories being in space" thing I could see where they might enjoy that.
But given the environment in 2045, I'm guessing it's going to be a lot closer to Elysium than Planet Hunt
Jeff Bezos says a lot of things
Uh oh, did he get on the ketamine wagon too

~~Millions~~ millionaires will be living in space.

Why would robots even need to commute why wouldn't they just be there ready to wake up and go? Sorry, are our sex robots going to work for us too? Hmm, I think it would be two different bots.
It depends on the type of work and how comfortable you are with sloppy seconds
Has JetBlue ever had an orbital flight? Or was he planning to use SpaceTwitter?
Who is going to live in space to do all menial shit they won't do themselves? Long list of applicants for space plumbers, janitors, trash collectors?
Just like most of the other capitalist structures: Make the alternative seem worse.
I suppose it would work like working on an oil rig, only with much more hazard pay I would hope. I could see people signing up for a few shifts to make some money. Not me I like grass.
Did he join scientology already?
Hooba-dooba-dooba!
