“we’re” going to be having a lot of disturbing “conversations” about “too many people” in the not too distant future. :/
If billionaires > 0:
too_many_people == True from Luigi import justice release_epstein_files()Disturbing is definitely the right word. If wealth and material assets weren’t concentrated so badly, it seems there ought to be plenty of resources to go around. If only those resources would actually be distributed as they should…

We should have been preparing for a post-employment economy for decades now, but no… let’s keep tying our worth to unnecessary tasks we perform for cash.
Prosperity for whom?
If you have to ask, not for you
First of all, if it happens at all, I’m betting it’s a long ways off. But if and when it does, the rich and powerful will resist any change to the economic model. They’d be more likely to go to a subsistence-level UBI so people have money to spend, just not very much of it.
The paranoid conspiracy theorist in me has been wondering if their plan involves intentionally devaluing traditional currency, the dollar, etc, to speed the adoption of crypto… somehow? But, there’s plenty of gaping holes in that theory, I’ll admit.
Local support networks are so important right now, either way. So that’s where I’m trying to focus my attention.
What do you mean paranoid? All currencies are devalued by the central banks since the 70s at the latest.
