Besides the obvious benefit of the final perk, Blood and Gold lets us pay others to do the dying in place of our own people.

Now I'm wondering what archaic turns of phrase have survived the collapse. eg "We're not out of the woods yet"

"We don't have fresh atmo yet"?

Just remember, Paul was a Harkonnen on his mother's side... I'm also not sure how closely House Weiss fits the model of House Atreides, all things considered. House Atreides was noted for the excellence of its military forces as well as its trustworthiness. I'm not sure 'military excellence' is really the defining trait of House Weiss.

Having lots of money and men is perhaps the best kind of martial excellence.

Something I'm not really clear on: how much of humanity is in orbital habitats, and how much is in planet-side habitats? There's clearly no earthlike world available for use, but the two contexts present different challenges and requirements.

Humanity is dying, they're just doing it slowly enough for people to fool themselves.
