Publicly-traded companies are required to reduce costs however possible. Jobs that can now be automated will be automated. That is unavoidable.

The only way to avoid a widening of the wealth gap is to increase corporate taxation and expand social services.

Half the U.S. unilaterally opposes those changes, so for us social stratification by wealth will continue to solidify and the average citizen's suffering will increase.

It's possible that after a sufficient number of poor people have suffered there will be correction through legislation, but I predict it will be reactive rather than proactive.

When you breathe you create water. You take oxygen from the air and it reacts with hydrogen in your mitochondria to produce water.

This is very overly simplified but the takeaway point is that plants aren't the only things that can create or disassemble water.

If you burn hydrogen gas, you make water. If you run an electric current through water, you generate hydrogen and oxygen gases.
