I agree with your overall projection.
I'm skeptical that a revolution (either social, political or economic) where the proletariat manages to end up in a drastically better position than they are in today can happen in a (for now still hypothetical, thankfully) world where there is no longer a clear economic need for those individuals to be around.
That said, in response to
>Where are the horses that used to pull carriages? We didn't let them run free, we got rid of them.
I can't help but point to the pigeons as a counterexample
- computerthings 2y agoCan you elaborate on what you mean about pigeons?
- baxtr 2y agoMy guess is OP is saying that we used to deploy pigeons for letter transport. They didn’t disappear like horses though. Instead, they’ve organized as gangs in our cities.
- computerthings 2y agoSure, they get by, but mostly on their own, not because we care so much, right? As WP puts it, they're mostly seen as pest but also serve as "important prey species for birds of prey".
