The gadget-ridden world they're trying to inflict on us is a result of a value-free corporate world where wisdom & responsibility are out of scope.

And while Google at al are throwing away money on their drone fantasies, poverty in the U.S. is growing.  According to Wikipedia at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States

Recent census data shows that half the population qualifies as poor or low income,[13] with one in five Millennials living in poverty.[14]  Academic contributors to The Routledge Handbook of Poverty in the United States postulate that new and extreme forms of poverty have emerged in the U.S. as a result of neoliberal structural adjustment policies and globalization, which have rendered economically marginalized communities as destitute "surplus populations" in need of control and punishment.[15]

Nothing could better illustrate an unstable society heading for big trouble.

Nor is Australia free of this dynamic.
