In the future synths will have pay and vacation time but always be less costly than humans

“Any chance the robots can take over the repetive work done by congress?”

Already done, its called a “blow-up doll”. A statue of would also suffice since they never really work. Its not like they have to meet production. Just put a sign in their hand every four years saying “elect me or your dead in 12 years” and your all set.

Robots EARN profits for their owners.

Standard economic theory is that the increased deployment of capital (ie. machines) and subsequent increases in productivity, should benefit the economy and overall income. The same logic says that increases in productivity mean lower costs throughout the economy, and therefore higher real wages.

My own caveat to this is that productivity increases, real wage increases, and reduced inflation are being stolen - by printed, fiat money, massive debt - and the handlers of this.

Even the Federal Reserve itself graphs the huge increase in America’s “monetary base”

So where are the robots that can replace a wife? Cook, clean, do laundry, wash the car, mow, gather the eggs, scoop out the chicken house, and give the dogs a bath.?

Then shut them off to recharge at night so they can’t complain about your snoring.

Automated filing has been a thing since the 60s. (Opening credits from The Prisoner).

Not sure how it reaches the lower drawers.

I rather enjoyed “I, Robot” and usually watch some of it whenever it airs.

It's also a great album.

In the early 2000s, a CA muni tried to tax orbiting satellites.

As long as they are American robots I am okay with it.

Before “I Robot”, Alan Parsons was a young engineer who garnered high praise for his high quality recording of a little album called “Dark Side of the Moon” by some unknown 4-some.

IIRC, he was an asst engineer on “Abbey Road” .

Republicans will make sure we offshore robotic technology and production to squeeze every last drop of profit. Of that you can be sure.

And at the same time encourage robots from 3rd world rust buckets to invade our borders.

I wanna live long enough to see sex robots go postal. That should be fun.
