Not even as a kid did I ever understand cutting sandwiches. And crusts were always fine by me.
I wasn’t giving their reasons. Those are mine.
By their nature, billionaires are insatiable. Of course they’re bitching. Nothing can ever be good enough. But yeah, Texas sucks.
It’s flat and featureless. There is practically no public land besides a few national and state parks, so you can’t actually go to those places you see from the road. You’ll get shot for trespassing. Cookie cutter mcmansions for a kings ransom everywhere. Slow traffic in cities, huge trucks doing 100mph in the country. And to top it off, some of the most ignorantly, arrogantly, self-righteous people you’ll ever meet.
This exact same technology naturally allows capitalists to force everyone to pay not to have their sunlight blocked during the day.
I mean, the technology certainly has benefits, not in reflecting sunlight onto the dark side of the Earth. Nobody fucking needs that. Instead it should be used to shade a few percent of sunlight in order to control Earth’s warming climate.
But rich people gotta fuck things up. No single entity must ever be allowed to control orbital megastructures.
