The worse part is that all the issues seem deliberate

Depends on how you define deliberate. The wealth gap between the super rich and the rest of us is getting bigger and bigger, and a lot of those issues seem related to that.

"Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced [robots] wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality." -Stephen Hawking
