or what they provide.

But in my world the people most screwing others own those assets, and the majority have been schooled to work for those who do.

Which worked ok for many (not all) for a few decades, but maybe not in the future. At least not for those who don't want to be one of the tragic stories on the Obama commercials.

It won't help everyone, but it will help a few be more secure than they were.
