Dr. Futuro, (named Ken), a handsome American, with his swept back hair, his swept back reading glasses - has never worked a day in his life, at a real job, since getting his degrees - (very similar to the Life of Tucker Carlson).
But he is the Expert on the Future, that any media source can turn to, and always has a memorable quip or quote that helps sell advertising - (Fox news loves him) - so is a frequent Go - To source.
There is no real degree for Futurology, se he has a degree in Biology, studying the psychology or apes and monkeys. He finds that useful when studying Humanity's future.
His topic today is - 'The near Future - 2042'.
"Fairly easy,” he says.
“With uncontrolled corporations, and an uncontrolled Wall Street and every country running the printing presses night and day to print Money, it is obvious that in 20 years we all will be Rich.
“Clerks in stores, (the few that remain), will make $50, 000 a year (in inflated money). The At Home workers, commuting by Internet, will Make $250, 000 a year. The really rich will all be Trillionaires. the merely Rich, will all be Billionaires.
“Cars will be a million dollars apiece, on a 20-year loan.
“Houses on a 60-year loan will all be over a million dollars, and up.
“When eating out, you will leave a $100 tip.
“The Homeless will all be living in the poorer countries of Europe - as it will be cheaper to keep them there. Prices in Britain or France will be about the same as the U. S., or even higher.
“It all goes back to the printing press. The more money you print, the more Inflation you have. Print a lot of money as the U. S. and Britain do - and you have big inflation.
“Our leaders love to spend Money (but hate to tax anybody), and their Politicians help them spend money, and before you know it - there are no cheap apartments, no cheap houses, no cheap food, etc.
“They are Rich, so it doesn't affect them as much. The Rich deciding things for the Poor, is very bad for the Poor. That is how Democracy works.
“The only way to fight Inflation is a simple life. Own a small piece of land, in a rural area - have a small house or mobile home,
“Have your own water supply, and possibly your own solar panels.
“Grow most of your own food. It all sounds boring, gross and disgusting - but with all of the above - you control everything. You control the cost of housing, the cost of water, cost of electric. You control, mostly the cost of your food. I highly recommend this lifestyle.”
Dr. Futuro, who is rich, by marrying a rich English wife, finishes his computer lecture and turns to his wife, half his age - in their Victorian pile of a mansion and says, “How did I do Dear?"
