The Madcap

Seems to me the main issues are repair of the robots when they inevitably break down and the number of said robots required to make mineral extraction and transport back to earth worthwhile.

When climate finally collapses, I think the oligarchs and technocrats are going to have more on their hands than they can handle, as it's going to be very obvious (even more so than now) who is really at fault for this. Of course, I said similar things about T****, so what do I know?
