I will actively do everything within my power to give my kids an “unequal” advantage. Sorry not sorry.

Decoupling “benefits” like healthcare and retirement from employment is the real issue. Should be a government responsibility, given out equally, paid for by taxes.

The counterpart to this dystopian future is other people taking photos/video without your consent. Just as a social norm I wish that was illegal first, and if it already is, enforced more. Apple and android should blur faces by default
