This is the part of your post that people really don't get. Our billionaires and those fewer around the world will own and control the planet. It's not that big, folks. The elites and the semi-elites beneath them are isolated and the complacency of the technical and creative classes reflects people who no longer care. They are comfortable. Those of us in the service classes (teachers, social workers, white collar people and blue collar) and the bottom quintile who fill the fast food jobs and do the drudgery left over will be left behind completely. And anybody that works for government and does pretty well because those jobs are still unionized will see changes as well. There really is no end to the slow slide into poverty many of us will see in the coming years. I'm older and set. But you younger people middle age even have no idea what's coming in my opinion. I've already seen such change that if you saw it my eyes, you'd be equally passionate about Sanders. He is our only - your only - hope. That's truly how I see it.
And the largest group that keeps getting larger in poverty is children. Been going on a for a very long time.
