A sign of the wealth disparity that is taking place. Two art paintings sold at record prices. [View all]

My only comment, is that we're going to see quite a bit of record breaking purchases in the coming years, and the more it happens the more you're going to notice a disparity between the millions who have been cheated out of fair wages and employment opportunities. I can't believe Elon Musk the other day was seeing a world where no one has to work because the AI Robots will handle everything. If that's the case, why is he so determined to increase the level of population since no one will have the opportunity to make a salary that will sustain them.

Am I the only one who sees the incongruities?
