you can ' t make any more land Sure you can . People are building island now . Plus there the whole solar system . But there is a lot of empty land on the globe . Most land is unimproved . <| sep |> and why should we care ? <| sep |> You shouldn ' t return it , just fix it yourself using alcohol . It ' s clearly been used . <| sep |> Aww , thanks . It ' s my first attempt at a copypasta so I ' m happy people enjoyed it . <| sep |> Keep acting like that and you ' ll never get a candidate into office . Blue collar workers want to stay blue collar . They want to put on their work boots , hop into their $ 55 k diesel pickup and head from their modest rural home to the plant where they ' ll work an 8 hour shift for good money then go home and have a beer . If you cant find a way to make that viable now and into the future , you ' ll have a large and very resilient identity group that you won ' t be able to suppress . They have the guns and are the ones who build your roads and structures , fix your cars , busses , trains and airplanes and you can ' t live without them . Not everyone is going to accept the idea that progress is everyone writing code or living in a government provided microapartment in a dense city .
