    We’re going to legalize prostitution? Have it so that you can get into any high paying job you want without a college degree while still automating the work no one wants to do? Put the smartest man in the world in charge of our worst problems, which we are acknowledging exist?

    Seriously, Idiocracy is a utopia compared to reality, I will die on this hill.

      I guess you skipped the first half of the movie. You might be exactly who the movie is making fun of.

        No I’ve seen the entire film, and believe that at potent a satire it is.

        It fails for two reasons

        1. Tech bros who took the wrong message and believed they needed to bring back eugenics to save the world.
        2. The Bad Future sadly looks more optimistic than the one we got in real life.
