Sorry, Earth is only for billionaires now. Proles get to live in space tubes.

Which is literally what Bezos wants. He wants to move "heavy industry" into space to "save earth". He'd rather spend his money flying the poor's into space to work and die than on anything that could save earth for everyone.

EAT! THE! MOTHER FUCKING! RICH! Before they sacrifice Earth.

The key word here is "could". Just like billionaires "could" use their wealth and power to stop the destruction of the biosphere and free humanity from the shackles of wealth inequality.

It'd be a lot cooler if they did, but if they operated like that they wouldn't be billionaires to begin with...

Billionaires: exists

Humanity: "Be a lot cooler if you didn't"
