This right here. Automation is fantastic. Get rid of those shit jobs so more people's quality of life can improve. Giving all that quality of life to a select few at the top is where the problem is.

Yeah. With power distributed the way it is now though (mostly concentrated in the hands of a small number of wealthy, connected people), every technological advance will be used against us. These technological advances could really make for a better life for everyone, but not when they're absolutely dominated by entities whose only real objective is taking as much from us as they possibly can.
