    It’s true, the way our capitalist system is set up it’s mainly the workers and less wealthy people in general who get screwed by progress and obsolescence. Wealthy people are very worried about it too of course, since something like phasing out coal could mean bankruptcy for them and they’d have to, oh no, get a job or something. Or you know, there goes the family dynasty… That’s harder to feel sorry for though, and it’s a lot easier for them to transition to something else, with some foresight.
