Bernie is proposing an idea that Bill Gates had too: let's tax robots!
Unfortunately it's not a long-term solution
What happens when the robots produce everything offshore?
More importantly, the more corporations rely on robots, the more profitable they become, and w that comes concentration of wealth and power
Until one day, govt will have very little say in taxing these corporations. Because corporations will effectively be in control of govt
Taxing robots, UBI, "optional work" etc. are all false promises, and futile attempts to apply outdated thinking to a 21st century problem
Here is how we can solve this: https://abundances.substack.com/p/your-economy-urgently-needs-an-update
