This discussion would make more sense if you’d engage with any of the points I’m making. This is pretty tiresome.

We could start with addressing climate change on earth, that seems like a good use of said wild powers.

But again, ponder why people migrate. Hint: food availability plays a huge part. How’s food availability in space?
