    The wealthy/powerful class is missing from Idiocracy.

    Yeah, we have a spray tanned idiot taking another run at the “most powerful position in the world”. But it’s the billionaires behind him that are getting even richer and solidifying their grip on the global economy. They aren’t idiots, and they will ensure their offspring won’t all become total idiots.

      I’m not sure about that. Billionaire oil executives don’t care about the damage they do to the environment because it benefits them short term, and they‘ll die before the long term.

      That’s because they also went extinct. It shows the fallout where everything is owned by Brawndo and how commercialization took over everything, but the ultra rich class is missing because they died out and all their assets were probably redistributed automatically by some computer.

      Billionaires aren’t idiots?? Elon Musk is so high on adderall that his brain is fried.
