They would happy to make everyone poor, because we will never have a society where everyone is megawealthy.

Actually, it's quite possible that we will eventually have a society where everyone is megawealthy by contemporary standards, but the DU types are still complaining. ("The poor have to use old replicators that can take an entire minute to make dinner, and many of them can only afford to take off-planet vacations once a year....")

ROTFL!!!

That's almost fitting for the old (now defunct) NT zoo. Amusing clowns, aren't they -- DUers that is.

It's a nice thought, but still the stuff of science fiction. I guess I shouldn't ever say 'never' when I mean "in the forseeable future". Also, megawealthy also means powerful (to me, anyway, in current context), not just blessed with material possesions.

Thank you for envisioning a happy outcome for all of humanity, though, I hope you are proven correct.
