(710 posts)But the point remains, that when the rich and powerful get through making the world uninhabitable, they would have access to the space station far more easily than we would have.
Now even if I accept your advice that the technology and innovations we got from the space station have advanced our way of life, I still cant accept that the space station could one day be an escape hatch for the rich and powerful to escape to once they have destroyed the world which we all rely on.
Pleas don't get me wrong, I am all for science and research that improves our way of life, but these days I am so anti the 1% that anything that benefits them more than us is a no no in my thinking.
I am so sick of the 99% fighting for the crumbs while the 1% use their money and influence to make their lives even better than they are at the expense of the 99%.
For instance, yes we might have and still could potentially gain having a space station orbit earth, but our gains would be miniscule compared to the gains of the 1% who would have an escape hatch to retreat to once they have ruined our lives on this earth with their greed.
I have come to the point of realising that anything that benefits the 1% more than it does us the 99%, is just a way to distract us while the 1% go about getting everything they dreamed off using our tax payer dollars as a way to get it.
Off topic, that's why I won't support any third-way democrats in any election, because the above theory applies with democrats who take big amounts of donations from corporations and the 1%.
The 1% would not be giving away a fair chunk of there money to anyone if they did not think that their money/investment in any candidate would not benefit them more than it benefits the 99%
