How?????
Futurama s6e7 (or just 95) "The Late Philip J Fry".
Now get off my lawn.
I wish I could skip 1000 years ahead. Either we fixed thing or humanity has died out. I win either way.
Or, it's the same, we're living and shit sucks.
True, but 1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more. Now we have some advantages. Even access to the internet is a good quality of life improvement compared to 1025 CE.
So maybe instead 1,000 years the inequality still exists, but technology has made things a little nice for the working class. It's all about perspective.
Or the climate crisis and subsequent environmental collapse lead to a Mad Max hellscape
1,000 years ago it sucked a lot more
1000 years ago we didn't have a surveillance state, climate collapse, tiktok, 4chan, drone strikes, school shootings, car accidents, car dependent infrastructure, pollution smog, microplastics, fox news, subscription services, hiring AI, police robots, the gig economy, leafblowers, overdraft fees, airbnb, overseas concentration camps, white phosphorous, fracking...
Yeah, there's a lot of bad, but he's right. On average, the vast majority of humanity is significantly better off than we were a thousand years ago.

I'm hoping it's like "The Year 2525"
What about the year one million and a half? Giraffes might treat us better.
Can I get everything I need from the bottom of a long glass tube?
Yes but everything is shot straight up your ass. Food, news and entertainment. Straight up the ass through a tube.
1 man, 1 food, news, and entertainment
man. tube. food. camera. TV.

Reminds me of the pilot episode. When Fry wakes up in 3000 and says 'everyone I know is dead... YES!!!'

How do you recognize a slave? There is no need for chains to make people work against their will.
Whoever dreads monday morning doesn't have to be worried about slavery anymore.
You only enslave yourself by learning to do absolutely nothing against what you see as oppressive.
You enslave others by consuming most common products on the shelves. Modern slavery (and child slavery) is more expansive than most know and third-world exploitation is rampant - western supply chains are not immune.
While you support the enslavement of others with your consumption, corporations continue to become more and more powerful.

But we live in the 21st century?
Futurama came out in 1999
That is correct
