It's capitalism at its finest. It's not just the children. We are all being forced to move faster and try to make more money just to keep up. AI is the last straw. It helps us move faster yet again, but it is taking jobs away. I know, I am a software engineer and my pay has halved yet I'm still expected to keep up with this new technology to have a chance of competing.

We need to slow down. We need to stop this competitive mindset. Nature works cooperatively and it has been happy for millions to billions of years. We need to stop the call for unlimited growth. It's not just humans that are suffering. The environment is being destroyed in the name of it.

Wow that sounds dystopian, but it's actually happening right now. Really well-written, I love it!
