I’ve wondered on occasion exactly what’s gonna happen when masses of robots take over most of the jobs. It can’t be just rich getting richer, but since robots are unpaid, companies and corporations will have to be taxed to pay for UBI. I know that sounds horribly communistic, but what else could we do?

We have to work to get paid, but if we simply CANNOT work, what else? I’m 36 years old and the way things are going I can see it happening in my lifetime.

spot on. We all can’t be podcasters, sell home made jewelry or play video games for tokens on twitch. There will be some new opportunities created from the robotic future coming our way but I believe the law of diminishing returns will raise its ugly head.
