Real talk, they know there’s enough mineral wealth in the asteroid belt that even some of it could make either A) everyone effectively rich or B) everyone a slave to their massive wealth forever. They’re voting with their rockets.
Some jobs are not a mere job, they are a societal need and a calling. Should we accept doctors who would prefer to keep their job if it meant giving substandard care?
That’s an extreme example maybe, but given the state of corporate news media and the effect it’s had on society, I’ll stand by it.
