    We won’t starve if we eat the rich. Once they are gone, we can build a new economic system.

      We’ll be lucky if it goes that smooth. Usually the whole thing at least partially collapses, followed by is a few hundred years of dark age to sort things out and then rebuilding starts with a new system in place for another go.

        Personally, I’m counting on Zephram Cochran flagging down some Vulcans to help us out. Rebuilding should take 100 years tops

            Wasn’t he kinda in that timeline? But he had Lilly to keep him in line, and I wouldn’t want to cross her!

                Hmmm… true… I dunno. I think Cochran really changed his tune when he met the Vulcans and it was supposed to be symbolic of the change humanity would undergo.

                But would Musk undergo the same change? Eh, you’re right: I doubt he would be so altruistic under the same circumstances.

      Last time they did it in africa… well I’m sure the following starvation was just a coincidence.
