It’s robots.

As robotic labor increases, who will benefit from the wealth robots generate? Only the elite who can afford robots, or all the rest of us as well?

That’s the deal. Think.

Well, since robots have been part of our economy for DECADES now, ask yourself if YOU have benefited from robotics? Without owning one?

YES!

Oh, I quite agree.

However, look forward to a time when the benefits of robotics are not marginal. A time when robots largely produce EVERYTHING. That’s what we’re discussing.
