I've never seen that whole movie but watched part of it on Comedy Central. Definitely good for a few laughs!
You could, and likely are right in the short term, but technology is ubiquitous and improving at an exponential rate. No matter the field, no matter what new industry pops up, 1000 jobs today will be accomplished by 100 jobs tomorrow and 10 jobs the day after that. We can, and should as a society work within todays paradigm, do all we can to increase our inroads into up and coming industries, but that too will fade. Before too long we will have to abandon this current modus operandi and acknowledge that failure to shed our current ways of thinking will either leave a majority of the population destitute or see them perish. But when work is accomplished via automation, and 9 to 5's are ridiculously antiquated, then if we do aspire to better things we could spend our days learning, pushing the boundaries of science, mathematics, art, and building beautiful hand wrought treasures.
Possibly in our lifetimes, energy, food, water, housing, health care, every basic human need, will be fantastic, and given freely to all humans. If people think this is a bad thing, they are fucking idiots.
Geez! I was charging batteries while trading posts here and a alternator belt broke. Tore the shit out of some wiring. I guess I better check out some Kevlar belts a guy was telling me about. Shit tore about six wires off a ground block. Lucky my ball wasn't in that fray.
It's important to remember that, if you work for most corporations, you are being exploited to the fullest extent of the law; if it were legal, they would murder you if it were less profitable to keep you alive.
Well I battled the beast and subdued it. Working again thanks to a handy wiring kit. Probably didn't fix the reason the belt broke though, I fear the new one will suffer the same fate. Perhaps it will last until I locate some Kevlar belts.
