Is this like the cyberpunk 2077 timeline or something? Theyre gonna privitize the military?

Probably. Let's be real, they'd privatize gravity if they could figure out how to make it stop affecting individual people.

There was a Cixin Liu shortstory about how someone privatized air so everyone had to live in phone booth sized things and if they went out they'd be in lifelong debt just for breathing.

For some reason, I'm suddenly reminded of Spaceballs as well, though the issues are only tangentially related. Where did I put that can of Perri-air?

"The last billionaire" or something like that. Eventually all of earth is owned by one dude, who deports all of humanity off earth.
