Oh, and just to make you an image of what life’s like in 2108… the wise guys from Mars Mining are in the 7th day of strike.

I just don’t get it. These guys are like 2.10m high, excellent health, excellent food, excellent opportunities, they start their life with 30.000 credits, not with 10.000 like the rest of us (well, that is… like the rest of children nowadays…). A standard 33 year-old Mars miner already has some 350.000 credits, and he can travel to the Moon and back twice per year, and he can visit any space station he wants once per year, free of charge.

Now compare that to what we get!

And they strike for what? For free access to hypobaric hotels on Earth, 5% more credits per month and a 20% decrease in the price of new terraformed Martian land? Ha!

Ok, I understand these guys are practically deprived from visiting Earth more than once every 5 years, but still… I just don’t get it. Their parents emigrated to Mars 46 years ago to start a worry-free life, they always were kind of privileged, they established like a tax-free economy, and now?…

Some say they will like to become autonomous. Yeah, like I give a dime.
