Dystopia.

[HughBeaumont]

Dystopia, dystopia, dystopia. And it isn't just Automation we have to worry about.

Everyone preaching "Universal Basic Income" is talking pie-in-the-sky bulldada. The modern conservative (you know, that guy who runs damned near EVERYthing in America) is George Dubya on Steroids. For every reasonable wealthy guy, there are 10-20 Sheldon Adelsons who will never, EVER stand for even one red cent of their tax pittance going to fund "LAZY BUMS THAT SHOULD BE WERKIN!!" AND THEY ALL RUN THE EARTH. Not to mention the millions of conservative racists who would never stand for it, even if it benefits them.

I really feel our best and happiest days are long behind us. We're never going to stand up to the people in power and they're just going to run right over us and not lose an ounce of sleep in doing so. This current administration couldn't fix a fucking Kleenex box and they're going to ruin the economy, all so already-wealthy guys can get ever wealthier while we experience job drought with zero lifeline and a horrid future. It's just too depressing and sad to think and talk about.
