    Oh god, the replacement of he iron workers in the skyscraper with the ruling elite class who literally contribute a tiny fraction of what they take from society is perhaps the most tone deaf take I have ever seen. Just absolutely disgusting, gutwrenching comparison, yet strangely poignant, as their goal is to make the working class disappear.

      Yeah, you have to be super blind ethically to not understand that this is a highly fucked-up idea to come up and then follow through with (not that I’m surprised).

      I do wonder what comes next for average people. I used to think a UBI would solve the world’s problems, but now I believe it would be just used as a method of controlling the general population. We’re a ways off yet from everything being replaced by this garbage, but when the time comes, I’m nervous about what will happen.
