People have a memory of a goldfish, every movie in the 80's had a "poor" family, a single mom or with a drunk husband with no job or the jobs were typically at the car factory, cleaning or the grocery store.

If they were "poor" they had only one car and a flat in the suburbs.

People will continue to swallow the BS about technology will set them free "so, one day you don't even have to exis.. work anymore!"
