Exactly
That's my point
Humans don't compete with robots, we make robots to do things we don't want to do.
So tax them for thier excess production
So, if you are against slavery, you have to be pro-robot
Robots will lower the costs
since you no logner need the labor payment
Which is why we should be afraid of thinking machines that can self improve
so instead of having to tax them to keep up with prices
just have the prices lowered
But then wealth will flow unrestrained to those who own the robots.
Why?
yeah, in just as small a portion
And we end up with even more inequality that the populace is already restive over
if i can buy a car for 100 dollars due to incredibly low costs,
the rich guy gets 100 dollars
If no one had wealth to give them anymore, how does it flow to them?
instead of like 80.000
It needs to flow from them back down.
Or they stop getting any, and they stop buying from other people
yeah, though just the normal progressive tax
you don't have to tax them more cuz people don't need that much to stay around
Again, are Americans willing to let a fraction of 1% of the population have greater than 80% of all wealth?
Post scarcity is once the robots can replace themselves, removing all need for labor
Once humans are no longer needed for labor you have post scarcity
They can
Yes, they are willing to
Then why did they vote in Trump?
idc, as long as they are not above the law.
>post scarcity is just automated labour
No lol
cuz the choice for them is no job and 80% wealth to 1%
Or a job, and 80% wealth to 1%
in addition to trump sounding more reasonable than dems to,
racial tentions caused by dems
basically people just not liking Dems very much
ppl voted for trump because hillary was corrupt.
enforcing the law, unless you could...pay.
and you need automated labor for post scarcity,
Else you make the remaining jobs pointless cuz the benefits are too small so people stop working
More people are voting Dem than Republican. Just people in the wrong places to make a change so far.
thats why you have electorial college
else big cities decide life for the small states
most people are morons, too.
Yeah, so the cities who don't know how food is made can't kill farmers with their policies
