Haha. No. Nothing so hopeful. The rich people will get even richer and everyone that used to be working class and middle class die a slow death.

Yeah. That's (arguably) the background scenario to Asimov's book "The Naked Sun" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Sun

I make no cleans about the stances of this artist; I just saw this strip years ago.
