Wow, that's quite a dark view of the future with the capitalists running the show!
I just want to repeat what I said before — nobody knows the future. And we also don’t know what will happen if we try different policies now. Maybe I am living in a bubble, and maybe I’m totally wrong — but I’m honestly glad that my view of the future is still bright. I’m not saying capitalism is perfect. Like most things, it has good and bad sides. I found an interesting study ( https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s42087-018-0034-6) that shows this quite nicely: "The Impact of Advanced Capitalism on Well-being". It says that capitalism brought a lot of good things — freedom, health, comfort — but also brought problems like stress, insecurity, and inequality.
