Hey all you billionaires. Why not spend some of your fortunes here on Earth to make it a better place for all people? Clean the air and water, make sure all people are healthy and have enough to eat. Make housing affordable. Why are so many billionaires so willing to write off this planet as a doomed hellscape which they seek to abandon like some galactic ghetto rather than making the world a better place to live? Oh, I forgot they're Libertarians. The billionaire class deserves to be on top and screw everyone else so, "The fundamental weakness of western civilization is empathy." (Musk) And what if they do colonize other planets but a more advanced alien race considers them biological pests to be exterminated? There goes the neighborhood.
