We are not tools used to reach their daily / weekly goals and rates.

well, actually, you are. Amazon is only using people because writing software to control people is still, at least for a few more months, cheaper than programming robots to replace people. I'm excited to see what happens when the workers who were mistreated by the mega corporations are fired and robots take all the jobs. The corporations I'm sure expect that the workers are just going to take their unemployment and go home to play videogames. I think it's going to be a lot different.

People have to be able to have an income to obtain the products from these companies.

I was driving somewhere today and I saw a swarm of amazon robot beer delivery coolers coming right at me from a side street.

I stopped for the stop sign, some went right some went left

I pulled into a parking lot got out took some pics and video.

The thing was very aware of me even though I was 10 ft away and not in its path. It was acting twitchy like an unpredictable animal.

I don’t think I like it.

50% of the population will have no problems collecting universal basic income. You know, Democratic voters.

These paper jockeys and computer screen fools think everything can be controlled with the right code. When machines take over all of the physical activities out of humans hands, there is no comprehension of the havoc a reading error of the code will do to a complex process. A machine operator will load in the incorrect code and bottles will break, boilers will overheat and explode, blades will break loose and fly through the entire plant, slicing through stuff in a catastrophic disaster. What they thought would save a penny in labor will cost them a pound.

Then there would be hacks by competitors that would gobble up software and spit back massive sabotage.
