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

Again that is post scarcity

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

the popular vote was won soley by California votes

Trump lost popular vote by like 2 million,

Hillary got 4 million from cali alone

Look at the map by county. Most people who vote dem control a small portion of the land. It's like Kings controlling the peasants.

food doesn't just fall from the sky?

depends where you live Paradox
