Is there anything that only the rich can currently afford but that everyone will have in the future? (lemmy.one)

When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.

What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

To archieve free time we have to reclaim our wealth from the rich. There is enough. We just have to redistribute.

Agreed. I also believe we should all stop showing up for work until we are guaranteed health care, a living wage, and reasonable housing prices. We shouldn't contribute to system that works against us.
