    Every generation says that.

    That said, it’d be interesting to see (over news in the web, living in Russia) some good protests with successes leading to, say, abolition of copyright and patent laws as they exist now. That would open a lot of avenues for economic development now suffocated by monopolies, oligopolies and patent trolls.

      Maybe every generation says that because it’s been more and more true for each generation. That’s how capitalism works, continually cutting out the legs from underneath the working class. That’s the entire concept, you continue to squeeze as much as you can to increase profits and one of the easiest places to squeeze is labor costs.

        Well, using a quantor like “forever” is usually a bad idea. In the following decade, two decades or so - definitely, so you are right, but we all have friends and family.
