They see how much they can get from people / population of peasants before doing anything. This logic is bad according to me.

I imagine them as taking a buckets load of planetary stuff and trying to convert it all into cash. (feel free to draw that!)

Or someone at a pawnshop asking the shop-keeper how much they would get from cashing in Earth itself.
And all this while government moves the chairs of incentives and mentality itself to suit it's next goal or dissatisfactions.

P.S
I realise about the paradox of my existence without them etc etc but it's not the right way in many ways so no arguments on whether I should live it's MORE ABOUT the method and way people and Earth are treated!

For those not really happy with above no worries - I'm not encouraging full-serious argument of it either. Just remember it is possible to 'create' things and people based on faulty calculation, arbitrary meaningless values or faulty exchanges... arguably that's more than half of the game of what we're in!
