>> But the real story is the creation of gated (walled) communities of haves, while the have-nots deal with the increasing crime problem.
The funny thing is, the gates in the walls will swing open at 0700 every day, and the population of the community will double as the “have-not-so-much’s” flood in to trim the hedges, mow the lawns, remove the trash, clean the streets, wash the solar panels, repair the plumbing, wire the Tesla chargers, clean the windows...
...because the wankers that live there can do none of those things.
Then at 1800, the temporary workerbee swarms will leave through the gates, which will be locked behind them. And the workerbees, who now know more about the residents than they know about themselves, will share all that they have learned...
Lots of that is being replaced by little robots anyway. Not sure they’ll want old-fashioned repair riff-raff penetrating their oasis.
