8. As things stand, the only humans that would have a chance in the scenario that I described would be the rich.

They will literally suck anything of merit from this country and then just move away.

Is that what you want? I sure don't. (I don't mind the second part, but the first part is unacceptable.)

So far, fear has not been the cause of any of my problems in this life. Being forced to struggle just to survive while spoiled brats rage around trying to prove how awesome they are and ruining society so that people like me cannot get a break has been. Being looked down on for my sexuality has been. Not being a good little robot has been. Everything that is happening now is just more of that same crap.
