Forget underground bunkers. That’s not good enough. If Armageddon comes, it is now being posited the one percent plans to run away to Mars.

Newsweek put out an article this week claiming that the new commercial space projects by billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are actually about an escape hatch for the wealthy elite one percent who plan to escape to Mars and leave the rest of us “to suffer on a dying, warring planet.”

...

The comment winner goes to Farmer Sean:

“Haha! We screwed up the Earth for the rest of you, so have fun cleaning up the mess!”

*They fly to Mars*

“Hey, which cargo hold has the menial workers?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, where are the people who are going to build our luxurious space palaces, grow our food and give us manicures?”

“I think—. I think we have to do all of that by ourselves.”


Nah, they’ll probably promise a few “lucky” poor people free passage to Mars via a “work program” that will turn into literal slavery once they get there. Good luck escaping Mars.
