Asteroid belt is the place to go.

We do have some fun things here though like the methane clathrates.

Oh yes please! We don't want to work, you know...

I've heard rumors that nobody wants to work anymore.

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.
