The truth is the near future either holds a great revolution in which we are finally freed forever from subservience to greedy overlords.
Or a future which makes 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, The Hunger Games and The Handmaid's Tale look like fairy tales.

I’m pretty sure we can do better than a system that funnels obscene wealth to a handful of rich guys while billions of people go hungry

I hate that it makes all aspects of life so much harder. The inability to resolve problems ends up costing both the individual and the company loads of time and money. Yet this is now the norm. They are counting on you giving up and giving in to their demands.
