I have seen a few of these with similar story lines and realized we are living it right now. They have the best healthcare, the best food, the best everything and most of us are a few dollars from disaster. That scares some of us to death literally from all the stress it causes.
It’s okay. There will be no Elysium. They’ll die on this molten rock right here with us if they’re still alive by then.
I think our reality is more like Idiocracy than Elysium.
The people in Idiocracy were wiser because when they found the smartest person they put him in charge pretty much straight away.
