Not if AI steals your job, then your backup job, then everyone's plan C has 1000x more applicants than openings, then rent doubles again, you can't afford art supplies, but you can watch YouTube videos of other people doing art (with ads) and ChatGPT can tell anything you want about art supplies you'll never be able to afford again.

I'm not sure how we'll handle the income problem, but once the shoe drops, and drop it will, very soon, I have a feeling that core existential needs will "magically" align with policymaking, such that people will at least be happier than they are today. I mean, this is the big one, the biggest unknown in all this. Not some future skynet nonsense, us humans always trying to keep others down because of our fragile, hilarious little egos. If we can overcome ourselves and make sure that we all get to eat and enjoy proper healthcare (uh, only way is up with that one anyway), people will change their minds right quick.
