Recently I watched a video of a content creator in SA with a can of Rhodes beans on her counter on the bg and wondered if it was connected to Cecil... This article reminded me of this and an old sci fi novel about a company recruiting for Martian colonists, who ended up becoming slaves. I can't remember the title or author, but we already see Leon making earth slaves, his family business is earth slaves, so only the poorest informed would go for this, or those who think they are Leon's equals? I'm probably missing something, I ate well and it's nap time.
Maybe “The Space Merchants”? They sell land on Venus because life really sucks on Earth. But will it be better elsewhere?
Maybe, I can't remember. I don't seem to recall it having advert execs but I don't remember the rest of the story either. It was a long time ago. I remember the lesson, though.
