You are 4000 years to late, we already wage war against each other for that stuff for a loooooooong time...

Asteroid belt is the place to go.

Strangely enough, from all the people I know and talk to, they're saying that they're working harder than they ever have and still struggle to make ends meet....

Very odd.
