That explains the ultra-wealthy, who likely will be able to buy their way out and live their comfortable lives.

But how do you explain the non-elites who are cheering on this dystopian reality? Some of them here in the HN comment section? If this thing that you are cheering for comes true, you'll be just as out of work and underclass as everyone else!

Do people really think the measly $2M 401(k) they got from their tech job is enough to buy them a ticket to the Elysium space station?

Move to a low cost area and live like a king.

Not having to live in a low cost area is a defining feature of kings.

Not really. Imagine you are a remote worker earning average tech salary. Would you rather live in a San Francisco slum (all you can afford) or a nice beachfront house in (insert random low-cost country of your preference)?
