The way I put it to my coworkers is that we are rapidly approaching the point at which we must choose between a society which redistributes the benefits of automation and one where the majority subsist on garbage dumps. But as long as many people don't vote, and a large number of those who do vote are distracted by idiotic "moral" issues we'll drift towards enclaves and garbage dumps.

- Tloewald 13y agoTrue, but if the voting public paid attention at least there'd be a small chance of fixing things.
