Comment on Robot chefs take over at South Korea’s highway restaurants, to mixed reviews
cm0002@lemmy.world 13 hours agoWell yea, but rolling it out slowly as people get “displaced” is how it would realistically get started IMO. It would be quite a taxing program for any country to just suddenly start

The problem is that SK(and a vast majority of the rest of the world) have declining birth rates. South Korea doesn’t have a “staffing” issue, they have a people being born issue. And most of the rest of us are gonna start feeling it soon too!
If something drastic doesn’t change for SK soon, in 30-60 years they won’t have enough people working to cover pensions, let alone UBI.

You can pay for ubi by taxing the robots, both physical and digital.
UBI is entirely possible if we transfer just a fraction of the wealth from corporations back to people.

This suggestion is raised frequently, and quickly falls apart under scrutiny.
Give you me your definition of a “digital robot”.
