By the year 2040, you'll eat bugs on your way into your 16 hour job making 13 Bezos bucks an hour and you'll love it because the serotonin patches and nightly dream implants (implant so that you dot wake up while your frontal cortex is being used to mine doge coin).

The best part is, for every 10 commercials you watch in your sleep, you get up to 1 dream back free at the end of the month!
