Kickass, the doorstop dog, joins the keeper in acknowledging that planet Earth has obviously been designated by the rich one percent as the celestial garbage dump, and is rapidly being overrun by greedy rats and gorging fat cats to the point of being unlivable.
The only escape–as demonstrated by several Earth billionaires, is to build a personal spaceship and ride it to another planetary location, perhaps Pluto, which has been more-or-less shunned for not having a minimum size, or wage, but does encourage greed.
That some of Earth’s occupants are not only willing but eager to make the planet unlivable in the interests of profit, is based on a religion that practices trickle-down prayer, “me-me” hymn singing and ritualistic sacrifices of the masses. It is called “Heavenly Dumpsterism;” and the HD members wear very expensive designer clothes, use only horse-drawn moral vehicles, and have plans for a sensational galactic “Rapture.”
The keeper and his ilk are gathering material to build their own spaceship, and already have a hand-cranked rocket that uses a manual transmission and has a holder for a buggy whip.
