What's the fix for this?

America won't be regaining its 1940's unilateral industrial superpower status again.

Do we just say that the Silent and Boomer generations were a fluke?

Do politicians that promise to redistribute wealth get elected?

Does automation really save us? Or lead to greater inequality?

Yes we do, because yes, they were a fluke. The question is, can we re-create conditions approximately that good (without bombing the rest of the planet back to the stone age)? I must admit that I don't see a way to do so.
