Yeah that’s kinda what I was envisioning, maybe half the tether zingin off into space when the other half fell into the pacific or desert, but even half is gonna be like 20,000km I guess.
Also wasn’t there a scenario like this in one of the Mars Trilogy books?

It was supposed to say “death and” autocorrect had other ideas I guess.

Yeah the dearth of destruction left by it falling would be insane. I assume it would have to be built along mainly west coasts to mitigate risks.

More its smell than its flavor. Though about half of us are pretty salty about the situation.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 1 week ago:
Lots of empty apartments are in luxury buildings right in the best parts of big cities.
Fully furnished too, just empty tax shelters to be traded back and forth by billionaires and their kids when they need cash.
We need to convince the desk staff and security in this buildings to help people squat in them indefinitely.

Every minute they save by walking over to your desk for a quick question is lost 10x over by the constant distraction of an open office plan.

Germany is famous for employing people part time, and then the state compensates the employees when not working. This is done to keep people that the company otherwise couldn’t afford, employed.

My 8 y/o causally announced that 6-7 is retired. “It was a 2025 meme, that’s like a joke, [classmate] says we need a new one this year”
Then later: “and I don’t get why skididi toilet is funny, it’s just people in toilets”
I love that kid so much.

Hosting fees, plus the computing costs of continuously visiting ownership for how every long people care about them.
Feels similar and instead of Hurricane trashing the condo, it’s just what happens when you forget to back up the drive you saved it on and lose the key.

You sure about that?
Besides the problematic developed vs undeveloped labelling, most rich countries exploit cheap labor and production I. The closest or most convenient “poorer” nation.
Europe has used the Balkans and eastern countries that was since the iron curtain came down (and before that really). Russia too.
The US and China both got rich doing it internally, but then moved on to cheaper labor or new resources when domestic sources were used up.
