      You may own your floor boards yes – wooden planks, formed by countless strands of molecules, though which themselves consist of nothing but nuclei and electrons
      I, however, have aquired exclusive rights to all of the vast real estate found inbetween those puny particles and I shall develop it into trendy nano-lofts and studios!

    I honestly can’t wait until we get to the point that large corporations own certain parts of space and make it so you have to pay to travel past those parts if affordable and easy space travel for the masses ever becomes reality. Can’t wait until they blot out every single star and replace them with an ad for a product you can’t afford. Can’t wait for them to replace the sun and moon with ads for space travel, now for the low cost of only 300 centuries worth of your salary!

    Me, I prefer my public healthcare that I pay for, that mainly tells me to fuck off when I need something, but happily pays for the same thing for women, because that’s more equal.
