Left the end of his statement off the quote..

"So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."

Stephen Hawking, quoted in "Stephen Hawking Says We Should Really Be Scared Of Capitalism, Not Robots" Huffington Post, (8 October 2015)

Those in power at the time of his quote (and since) have done everything they can to put their foot on the accelerator, and it's now worse than ever 🌈
