If no attorney will take your case you are wasting your time.
The old saw about the person who represents themselves in court having a fool for client.

Other than nuclear war or meteor strike I don't think so. There certainly exists the possibility that some major roadblock will arise in the future but, I think it is unlikely.

I could see The Hurley Chronicles being a thing where he sends his minions out around the world to help people in trouble kind or like Touched by an Angel /Highway to Heaven sort of a show.

Join the capitalist class. Low cost index funds that invest in the entire economy like VTSAX are the best safety net you can build for yourself.

Garbage for neoliberals who still believe we live in a democracy and that any real journalism is going on.

I don't know that I want mob rule. As Trump has demonstrated a large portion of the mob is incredibly stupid.

The oligarchs are in a bit of a bind. They depend on the masses for labor. However, they also depend on the masses to consume what they make. So, impoverish the masses = no more profits for their companies.
Even companies that don't sell directly to the general public are still feeding their products to manufacturers and service provider that do.
I imagine that they will be short sighted and automate assuming the business down the street will provide the jobs, while the business down the street is believing the same thing about them. Circular firing squad.
Consumption by ordinary people is 70% of American GDP. Other that UBI or some new job category that I can't imagine what it would be capitalism will be in real trouble.

Actually, it was skilled workers who saw industrial looms replace their cottage industries that were the most resistant to new technology.

The pool of people that were typists is very different than the pool of people who can program and maintain AI and computer equipment. I'm afraid the bottom 50% of the population will be unemployable.

There used to be huge typing pools at corporations all gone.
Telephone Operators gone.
When you replace human brains with AI there is no guarantee that new jobs will rise up to take their place.

Corn and Sugar lobby will never allow it to see the light of day.
Cane sugar prices are already artificially high due to government corruption.
