We always needed to charge for automation. McDonalds kiosks should have to pay the tax as if they were hourly workers. They would still save on the remaining wages, the sick days and leave.

I didn't even think about taxes. Good point. I bet companies would probably also get some sort of substantial tax write off. I don't understand the end goal of AI and robots do everything.

Ideally automation makes it so we as a people need to work less, a universal basic income is generated through the taxation of automation.

Realistically the powers that be, facists and pedos, will emable their peers to pay less for more until we battle for who gets employment.

UBI likely wont happen anytime soon, since poor people make better Conservative voters, and thats what american regime wants, easy to manipulate into low-wage only jobs, added bonus of being fodder for the armed forces and LEO.

America is a force for evil, I dont expect anything decent, groundbreaking, progressive or intelligent to come out of there.

I am hopeful for countries that havemt been playing life on easy and still throwing their toys out of the pram
