As far as I am aware the only one that has succeeded thus far is Paypal, and he founded the original company but then there was a merger and he was ousted before the sale to ebay. Obviously the guy is a good talker and knows how to raise money, but which successful companies are you talking about?
There is a fairly easy source of income for teenagers who want to get a head start in life. Fairly easy to get a job in a fast food restaurant. Until they get automated, of course.
You think Google and Uber and dumping billions into automated driving so they can run buck-a-ride glorified rickshaw services? No way, they're taking it to the bank. First they will be cheap enough to take out all manual taxis, then they will charge the same.

Maybe fatter and more slovenly will be more sexy. That's what I'm holding out for.
Last I read, the problems with the "reusable" rockets were fairly fundamental, I wasn't sure if he had got on top of that yet.

I think fewer people grow up themselves, and so should not have kids.
Especially since the toys they have now are the ones I wanted to exist when I was a kid.
Except it wouldn't work in the US.
That's a good point. "Why should I have to pay full price to get my cotton picked?"
Still a lesser evil. If you come up with a better system, let us know.
Why don't companies ever fight unions by providing a good living for their employees?
That's ok, less people in the world for my kids to step over as they take over the world.

Are you sure it doesn't just feel longer?
Greater higher education and more time to raise kids both sound like very good results.
