The thing is there's no reason why earth would have to be a crapsack world in such a scenario. If you had machines that were self-running and could cure cancer in seconds why not send a couple hundred to earth to run things and cure all disease?

It falls short as a metaphor as well given the billions of dollars America's spent in foreign aid.

exactly

it's not like there weren't enough robots to go around

or that there wasn't enough electrical power to keep them going

if the supply is, for practical purposes, seemingly infinite, then the only reason not to use it is to make the bad guys just bad for the sake of it

One of the things that helped me see Elysium in a more favorable light was an interview with Lauren Beukes talking about how South African science fiction is saying all of the things they couldn't say a decade ago, and that, yes, health care disparities built around the legacy of segregation are really that bad.
