> On the one hand, if those scraps are enough to live on (and educate my children and so on), it's fine with me because it's enough.
That's a pretty sad state of affairs though. Constant "revenue optimization" means it's almost guaranteed that scraps will be less as time goes by. I mean, rich folks can always want more, no?
The issue isn't with "we have scraps" but the 1% focusing on the 1% and that if you don't have an economic voice, you will eventually lose all of your remaining scraps and your rights (e.g. Native Americans, Palestinians, etc).
Now you just have to add in privatized military and drone/AI based policing and it starts to look a lot like dystopia.
