Look at me say the exact same thing and be thrown out the bar

Why would robots even need to commute why wouldn't they just be there ready to wake up and go? Sorry, are our sex robots going to work for us too? Hmm, I think it would be two different bots.

It depends on the type of work and how comfortable you are with sloppy seconds

I don't think we have the capacity to launch a million people into orbit in 20 years, let alone all the stuff they need. I mean, 1 million people weigh about 150 million pounds, and that's just meat and bones. .

Has JetBlue ever had an orbital flight? Or was he planning to use SpaceTwitter?

I ain’t going…

I don't care if any people live in space in 20 years but I would like to launch Bezos, Musk and a few others there.

And what the heck are people going to do in space? How will they even get their Amazon packages?

Hooba-dooba-dooba!

Who is going to live in space to do all menial shit they won't do themselves? Long list of applicants for space plumbers, janitors, trash collectors?

I suppose it would work like working on an oil rig, only with much more hazard pay I would hope. I could see people signing up for a few shifts to make some money. Not me I like grass.

Just like most of the other capitalist structures: Make the alternative seem worse.
