See, some people think our current culture/civilization/capitalism will not survive climate change, but clearly there is no wasteland too blasted and dangerous for it to eventually become a money-making tourist attraction. Our culture will live on in its perversity. I fully expect people to be huffing recreational Covid in 30 years’ time.

I'm curious, why do you see this as a money-making tourist attraction and not as another way of visiting a museum?
What's the line you're drawing? Most museums are tourist attractions to at least some extent.
The line would be "considered good/considered bad" I think. It's fuzzy, but saying something is "a money-making tourist attraction" is usually passing a different value judgement compared to "a museum".

How much are you willing to bet on this? (Normally I'd try to argue, but…)
Much like bug chasers I imagine there will be _someone_ out there trying to purposefully catch Covid for some (inexplicable) reason. There's always a few loose screws wandering around at any point in time.
