"Actually I disagree. It is what people think raw economics says. In
fact, it is what top government officials think raw economics says.
Think of each President and his economic advisers. Somehow we see
each President Has economic advisers that echo his views." -- Rick Brooks

I was thinking cheap products and services. Miners on earth can't compete.
That's down the road a bit and in a free market place, of course.

I'm thinking (for U.N, backing and securety) of offering the U.N. a
percentage - say 10% or so of sales. Sort of like a tax.
Just a thought.

Of course, any government can make things difficult.

Thankfully, there's a lot of markets and a lot of governments.
