    I don’t disagree on exploitation, my point is your rhetoric has lost the plot.

    You physically cannot automate everything. Human input is always needed somewhere. There isn’t enough resources on the planet to just wish problems away, everything atrophies, everything needs doing to get. Just because we don’t work as hard as we did, doesn’t mean we don’t still have to work. There are necessary labor inputs to upkeep what we have achieved, and anyone who benefits and is capable should help ensure that everyone else can enjoy the same benefits going forward.

    Wise men plant the seeds of a tree whose shade they will never know. Anyone not disabled, a child, or dead should contribute.

    • We could automate enough to make UBI a thing. Then nobody has to work a shitty back breaking demoralizing job and can then focus on better things.

      Obviously there will be some shitty jobs that are an exception but you get what I’m saying. UBI for all
