that said, it doesn’t matter. robots and AI are coming. their reduction of the workforce by 80% will result in the utter destruction of our economies and nations. and socialism won’t fix it. oddly, communism and a giant heap of genocide will probably end up the right answer in the long run. just not a very moral one.
person costs $50k a year to employ. robot costs $12k and $400 in maintenance a year. it works 24/7. game over. will the product be 4 times cheaper? yup. will a person with no job who will never have a job care? no.
