I wish we could stop using the word utopia, human nature means there will never be an ideal government

You are absolutely correct with the effect of the financial elite's greed on general quality of life for everyone, even the rich.

Right now the greed and hoarding of the billionaire class has stifled any developments of new luxuries they could lord over the rest of us till it became affordable.

What I mean is that if 50 years of terrible governmental and business choices didn't cripple and drain our space program, I GUARAN-FUCKING-TEE the ultra rich would ALREADY have space condos and private transport no more complicated than a jet flight to the most exclusive place in human existence

But NooOOooOOo They want to stifle creativity and innovation and crush the engineers and scientists that would have made the way for that future all so their numbers are bigger

but they have less cool shit to spend those big numbers on, and those big numbers don't mean nearly as much as they used to

All because the greediest sonosofbitches in the entire history of humanity are given the right to do whatever they want because wealth buys freedom from consequences of all natures

Burn it all the fuck down, they will never let us survive otherwise
