Could it ever happen that earth is useless to the billionaire class?

Would they always need earth to be habitable?

Because if they somehow managed to terraform and colonise another planet like mars, wouldnt they just make earth so uninhabitable that the rest of us would be forced to go where they are? (Prolly as slaves)

We’re already their slaves. And terraforming takes a colossal amount of energy and a ton of time. Despite all the problems we keep creating for our selves, the Earth is too perfect and “easy” to ditch in favor of a non earthlike colony that requires terraforming, IMHO

The human race is not capable of terraforming another planet, we can’t even fix the climate of our very nearly perfect planet.

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.
