Germany - Poverty - Underclass

The irony of it all is almost too much.


Take Bill Gates for example. Here is a man who has billions of dollars. He's one of the richest men in the world (right now). However, he is working against himself in a way. With all the new technology his company is creating, people are losing their jobs over. When people lose their jobs, they have no money to buy his product. If they don't buy his product, then his billions will slowly disappear as well as his company. If his products led to the extinction of all jobs in the world, there would be no value in any money. Then his billions would be worthless.

This is most likely not going to happen in any of our lifetimes, but we are beginning to see the early stages of it and we will always be looked at as the generation(s) that led to the demise of mankind. I'd estimate this could all happen by the year 3000 A.D. though. Perhaps even earlier and considering mankind does not start a nuclear war and that people are still inventing more and more powerful computers and machines with more sophisticated A.I..
