Corporation isn't going to shoot them for doing so.

Horror evokes existential dread, a [quasi-]supernatural threat against an unwilling [relatively] impotent protagonist, often with an ambiguous ending. The monsters may be terrifying to the Danes in general, but they are not the protagonists.

Action evokes willing combat, antagonist(s) viewed as challenger or threat to vanquish by a duty/honor-bound protagonist. Beowulf travels far to engage the heard-of horror, as challenge for pride and later protecting his people.

Beowulf sees the first monster as a voluntary challenge, the second an obligatory follow-up, and the third a duty. Any subsequent vague threats are just the way of humanity; this is not "and they lived happily ever after."

Not by the thousands, short of taking ALL satellites out.

A few satellites orbiting use far fewer materials to provide coverage of the entire planet than doing so terrestrially would.

As Starlink satellites age out they de-orbit. No space junk.

You’re welcome to propose & implement better solutions. Until then, this is the very best humans can do to lift all of humanity with minimal environmental impact.

Anecdote: War And Peace was so massive it broke my audiobook reader app. 400 pages in it just quit progressing.

Wages trade value of work for currency (as a convenient abstraction from barter). If the work is not of mandated value, the employment evaporates as employers find other means of getting the work done.

Notice the proliferation of kiosk and app based ordering replacing live clerks, retail shift from brick-and-mortar to robot-augmented warehoused shipping, etc. Notice the flight of workers from expensive urban centers when "work from home" finally became a thing, moving to lower cost areas where higher minimum wages are less necessary (and thus supporting workforce leads to lower local cost of living).

Private employers are not in the business of supplying wages above their worth. If compelled, they will find whatever means possible to circumvent such compulsion.

The “largely free” is in contrast with platforms having >$25,000/yr entry costs just for a license.

Seems a concession, if not directive, to Russia to invade Ukraine.

We're not discussing "massive deforestation" here. Germany's biofuel mandate does not affect rockets in Texas.
