apehater: thats one horrible nightmare for every worker! no protection rules, like minimum wage, against exploitation and a wet dream of every inhuman, greedy investor.
OneFiercePuppy: /sigh Why in the nine hells would you think that a) laws wouldn't get put in place before such an industry took off, b) anyone would want to send people into orbit to do work (we're crazy inefficient, needing things like air and food and water and personal space and clothings and hygeine) instead of mostly robots or c) anyone important enough to get SENT INTO GODDAMN SPACE would be making minimum wage in the first place?
...
a very optimistic approach to a horrifying idea

aJillSandwich: Jeff Bezos also wanted to have drones deliver packages to people, so clearly, not all of his ideas are good ones, or even practical.
idea? i thought that drones are already delivering in usa
GR00T: ...
That's reasonably close to what the
Ancient Alien Theorists believe, actually...
screw them! they're just an insult to our god the
flying spagetti monster!
Schnuff: "Onstage at the Code Conference on Tuesday, the Amazon founder and CEO said that we have to start bringing parts of the industrial economy to space in order "to save Earth."
Good idea. Amazon can now use the money they save with not paying taxes for a good cause.
yeah ... i bet that such a greedy asshat company will use heavy gov funds to get their fabrics to space just to avoid any taxing and dictate their working conditions. great deal or? governments use their tax money to help such companies to avoid being taxed by them.
