This is a universe with faster than light travel and near infinite resources. There's a homeless shelter in one of the major cities. I helped them out. Why the fuck is there a homeless shelter in a universe with FTL and near infinite resources?

I'm starting to think Fallout under Bethesda isn't a satire and their writers are just incapable of imagining anything beyond capitalism.

I ran into a straight-up reddit libertarian in a bar on Mars. I think the organization he was pushing was called LIST? I started slamming the Tab key very soon into the conversation

You meet LIST colonists who are stranded in space and need help desperately because LIST didn't give them any resources.

I thought they were lying at first because they didn't seem to be sure about the name of the organization. They were like "we are with...uh...LIST?"
