Which Future?

 People in this country can get jobs but the jobs that they can get are just not what they used to be.

You used to be able to take care of a family working normal hours.

It's only the fortunate few who can still do that.

To say the economy is doing so wonderfully is misstating the facts.

This is unfortunately the results of the automation and technology improvements that have taken many good paying jobs and turned them into robotic jobs.

This was not the Utopian future predicted by some science fiction writers.

At least not for most of humanity.

This is the future where we destroy the climate, force most of humanity into debt and menial jobs while a small number of privileged elite enjoy the fruits of their labor.

The world needs to decide which path to take.

Egalitarian, or elitism.
