Elite snobs do not need to share the plight of the poor from their limos. They need to be impoverished, starving, without friends or support. They must be genuinely poor. I believe that can be arranged.
A culture committed to morality will not support the purveyors of vulgarity. That will end this ridiculous reign of blathering imbeciles who want only for the culture to grind down to their level.
This is perhaps tangental to the essay, but I would like to see the development of 3-D printing to the point that goods sent even from one city to another in-country could be reduced to a computer file sent via Internet, and hard goods then produced locally. It would cut down the amount of traffic, fuel use and emissions from truck hauling.
Of course, it would put a lot of the truck-stop prostitutes out of business... hard to imagine them congregating outside the 3-D printshop... :-)
