Comment by Robert Reich
Former Secretary of Labor
Rather than creating an age of abundance in which most people no longer have to worry about money, new technologies have contributed to a two-tiered society comprising a relatively few with extraordinary wealth and a vast number of people barely making it. AI is likely to further widen inequality.

Quote attributed to Robert Reich (former Secretary of Labor), year 2026. Source URL (robertreich.substack.com) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search corroborated the quote verbatim as coming from Reich's February 2026 essay "AI and the Coming Jobless Economy" published at that exact Substack URL (also republished on eurasiareview.com, futurism.com, dnyuz.com). Author attribution is correct and consistent with Reich's longstanding arguments on inequality. Vote alignment is correct: the statement "AGI will create abundance" is voted "against," which matches the quote arguing that new technologies have NOT created abundance and that AI is likely to further widen inequality. Year 2026 is current/relevant.
