Qualification:

No, seriously, it's just awful. I'm starting to worry that I'll end up homeless or working in low-paying jobs like mining, if, of course, such jobs still exist and aren't taken by other people. Maybe I should move to a more or less decent village, where at least I'll have the opportunity to grow my own food and get water from a well?

But I saw that life in the villages is very hard, and I'm not ready to work from morning until late at night without days off.

The year 2027 scares me a lot.

In a world where people have nothing to lose, the people in power will need to be afraid.

Seriously, if we end up in a situation where we have mass unemployment with no safety net because of AI, billionaires and politicians will be hanging from lampposts.
