More and more jobs are being automated.

The result is that most wealth is held by just a few people.

Meanwhile, science tells us that crowds have better analytical powers than smart individuals.
Panel 4:
Thus, our new program: the great mass of people will be paid to offer their opinion on a situation a rich person is in.
Panel 5:
By this means, nobody is out of work, and the rich make better choices!
Panel 6:
Question: Is this a horrifying dystopia?
Panel 7:
Just a moment. I’m going to have the entire population of Scotland tell me how to reply.
Panel 8:
Well?
Panel 9:
I can’t tell if they’re calling me the C-word or telling me to use it.
