Rod HiltonI was promised a sci-fi future where robots would do all the menial tasks so that humans could focus on creating art and instead you assholes built robots to do the art so we all have to fight over the jobs doing menial tasks, good job.
Fan of Shared Truth & Empathy@rodhilton @Litzz11 I have often tried to point out that this is not the altruistic Star Trek society promised by technology - it’s just optimizing capitalism making the wealthy richer and the rest of us increasingly homeless. Flying car my ass.

I recently had the realization that even if we invented replicators that could make food out of anything, people would still starve because some company would own all of them (and the patents) and charge exorbitant sums for the use.
It doesn't matter what we invent, people will suffer because certain people hoard resources—not because they are scarce but because they are needed, so if you MAKE them scarce people have no choice but to pay whatever you want.
