It can go either way: Crowd sourcing, open codes for everything and a base salary for everyone and you'll see volunteering/education and the lot.
Or the ones that have get even more, hold on to the keys of technology like trading algoritms and we cannot catch up, or kill them and get their money to even things out as there's no more gold, it's just numbers on a system.
Probably a mix of the two, but the more we can restrain the have it alls, the better.
Or we can join a virtual country, all ran by computers that negotiates for us. Who do you pay your house rates too then but...who knows...
I understand the selfishness as solidarity is gone. Why give to a charity instead of pot the money in case you lose your job?
Time for an lfgss hard scifi thread perhaps :p

Totally. It's so frustrating.
We should, today, be asking the question "What happens when technology has made 90% of the jobs in the country irrelevant?".
We should be embracing the peace, stability, and artistic, creative renaissance that could well await the entire human race. We should usher it in, embrace it and make it happen sooner.
But instead, everyone is getting selfish and fighting to not lose their little thing, their inch of land, their job title, their view.
We should be figuring out how to redistribute the proceeds better, of this wealth machine. How to spread that evenly. How do we get to 100% technological literacy? How could we improve the lives of all in this country and others?
It's the economy. It's the technological revolution. We can't stop that revolution by voting ourselves out of it, but we can definitely lose control of the very few levers that exists that has enough leverage to build a better future.
