moon is mine

question. where did you get this stuff for this new technology?

--good question. you won't believe me, but we found it on a meteorite.

i believe you. another question. if your supplies last, where will you get it then? because you can't start a business expecting a meteorite to fall on your doorstep every production day.

--good question again. we have tested thousands and thousands of rock samples found on earth and we never found a match. until, we had clearance to test the rock samples from the apollo missions.

so, the moon?

--yea. it's all over there. and that's when i realize the moon landing is real.

of course it's real. but how would you get it?

--if this thing breaks through, in five to ten years, there's gonna be a large moon mining business.

business huh. moon mining business.

--yes. large.

so you're telling me that if this thing goes big and if the consumers, us, demands more than you could supply with what you already have, you start mining the moon?

--basically, yes.

do you have kids, sir?

--yes, i have two wonderful kids.

awesome. awesome. so i'm guessing that you're doing this business because you're thinking about their future?

--of course.

how about the future of their kids? have you ever thought of that? and their kids, and their kids, and their kids? and their kids?

--no, i can't say that i have.

you're thinking short term my friend.

--do we have a problem here?

no we don't. but the future generations do. because i can see in your eyes that you have no slightest fucking idea about the long term implications of what you're doing right now. i know it's possible that you didn't study to be in this kind of business, but you're in it right now and you're embracing it a hundred percent.

--which is good, right?

right. which is good but only for the individual representation of someone being slaved by a huge corporation. i have one last question for you, sir. what you're telling me is, if we, this company buys one of your products, you are basically one step closer to mining the moon, yes or no?

--yes.

ok, i'm done. i'm sorry but i can't be a part of this. if i see one of their products near my table, i will smash it into a million pieces and burn it. i'm serious.

--but sir..

you should remember my face. because if this thing works out for you, i'm gonna be one of those who will do everything to tear you apart. please excuse me.
