I don't understand why this article is trying to portray good things as dystopia.
As someone who grew up ~poor surrounded by ~poor people, having achieved some financial security, one of my top priorities in life is to not live surrounded by poor people anymore. If technology helps that, great. I feel like the opposite perspective can only come from lack of personal experience and therefore misplaced compassion.
Classism is fine. Classism being connected with racism-punching-down is a peculiarly American development (the classic examples of racism+classism throughout history in Europe/etc. are generally against minorities perceived as "unfairly" succeeding).
