    The Ponzi scheme, that is American “social security” (I mean actual social security, but all the rest of the social services too), would collapse if there arent more poor people pumping money into, than are taking out of it. Instead of doing shit like taxing the fuck out of the rich, or AI/robots.

    But, yes, it would solve A LOT of the worlds problems if there were less people.

      To be fair, I don’t think taxing robots will get you far…

        How do you figure. If the workforce becomes by and large robotic, taxing the businesses, based on that, like you would humans, would work well enough. If not, then there needs to be some concession from businesses to pay the same or more as when humans were doing the jobs.

          I’m moreso being cheeky about your wording - robots don’t own cash, thus can’t pay taxes. You must tax businesses.

            Fair enough. Lol. I meant the business that own the robots.
