Nobody wants a city on Mars. Nobody wants AI in every app. Nobody wants a robot butler. Nobody wants data centers everywhere. Nobody wants flying cars or humanoid robots. We want clean water, we want bees to survive, and we want a habitable planet.

[Easterncedar]

1. True dat

[Nittersing]

2. Agreed!

[senseandsensibility]

3. But how will corporations and billionaires make obscene amounts of money

then?

[ananda]

4. The problem is that the people who do want these things...

have more money than god and
want to force them down our throats.

[Happy Hoosier]

5. I do want a city on Mars and Flying Cars tho...

… but I also want clean water and a habitable planet. It’s not either/or.

[calimary]

17. Agreed.

Besides, considering what we've already done to injure and defile our precious Earth, and the wasteful, thoughtless habits we've already built, a city on Mars may not be such a bad idea for the future. What we've already done to our planet is gonna take quite a cleanup, along with some serious reeducation and wiser long-range habit-forming. The "use once/throw away" mentality has got to go the way of the dinosaurs.

[Morbius]

35. Flying car yes, city on Mars not so much.

We need clean power more than anything.

6. I once heard someone say

The 🌎 is just a private resort for 3,000 people .
The rest of us are the servants and slaves that serve them . . .

✌🏻

[SheltieLover]

7. Absolutely!

[True Dough]

8. Also agree with this:

@YourAnonNews

Imagine waking up tomorrow and every billionaire vanished.
Most people would still go to work.
Food would still be grown.
Roads would still be built.
Hospitals would still operate.
Now imagine every worker vanished.
That's the difference between wealth and value.

[bluestarone]

9. Agree!

[SuzyandPuffpuff]

10. Yup

Agreed

[2MuchNoise]

11. Is it too much to ask?

I want a comfortable bed
That won't hurt my back
Food to fill me up
And warm clothes and all that stuff.

[House of Roberts]

33. I love that song.

Passionate Kisses by Mary Chapin Carpenter.

[2MuchNoise]

36. Me too.

[electric_blue68]

12. Agree; except I do want a mission, or two to Mars

And while having some class differences: erase poverty; and maybe limits to only multimillionaires ( raise the Social Security cap, too), and further clean up our air, land & waters.

[relogic]

23. Except

the enterprises that would put us on Mars, supply flying, autonomous, congested airspace, give us water and millions of products/services seem to own the rights to these things before we can even “bid” (in a sense) on them. Recent example (Space X). They’ve managed to steal the rights of control one way or another and use our government against us to accomplish this.

[electric_blue68]

25. Oh I should have been specific NASA s3nds astros to Mars; not...

Space Z, Blue Origin whatever!

Please clarify what have these companies taken control of?

[Justice matters.]

29. IMO they took control of politicians through "Citizen United"

Simple:

- Apply for public-sponsored subsidies (BILLIONS).
- Take big chunks of those public-funded subsidies to "donate" to politicians of all sides.
- Issue clear warnings to elected politicians that if they don't keep that scam going they can say goodbye to that public-funded money for their next campaign.

Bingo.

[electric_blue68]

38. Got it.

[relogic]

34. Does owning

our 3 Branches count and that is control on steroids. If I further clarified I’d find the redundancy almost tragically comical.

[electric_blue68]

39. Ok, you meant -that- way.

Don't have to be kind of snarky about it.

[relogic]

40. Apologies, electric_blue68

I thought you were giving the DOGE and corporate tax evaders at our expense a pass. (scratch my snark)

[patphil]

13. I'm particularly concerned about the bees. I used to see a lot in my lawn since it's full of clover.

I don't want to say there aren't any, but they're precious few compared to what it used to be.

[Bumbles]

14. And without bees, no food. Not even for the billionaires.

[patphil]

21. billionaires don't think of these things. They think they can always buy their way out of anything.

Maybe Musk will actually make it to Mars some day. A one way trip would be ideal.

[GiqueCee]

15. It is worth noting...

... that Bayer, primary producer of neonicitinoid insecticides, that are the biggest killer of honey bees, refuses to terminate production of that deadly product. If it kills honeybees, it's probably not too good for humans, either. But since when has that ever mattered to corporatists?

[LoisB]

16. I agree.

[Upthevibe]

18. Kick. N/T

[Cirsium]

19. A habitable planet???

Such a purist. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

[JoseBalow]

20. Well, maybe a robot butler...

[relogic]

22. You know it

I wholeheartedly agree. More attention to life and less on the strife compounded by those endeavors.

[OLDMDDEM]

24. Yes, I agree.

[TommieMommy]

26. Yes Yes Yes 👍👍

[Ocelot II]

27. I'd kind of like a robot butler, but I can do without the rest of it.

Especially fucking AI in every app and every website.

[hermetic]

28. Totally!

[MiHale]

30. AGREED...KNR...

[rampartd]

31. a robot butler , maybe.

but the sucker will be a tattle tale

and the robot malware (yes, coming soon) might just turn your sex bot into a relentless killer.

[Fla Dem]

32. But, but, but, how will the billionaires make trillions if they don't have all those things????

They clearly don't care about us.

[Polybius]

37. Nobody?

I want my own C-3PO.
