Johanno@feddit.org 2 weeks agoThe thing is. Replacing humans with robots should never be a bad thing. We should work less and have the same living standards.
However our world is currently setup so that without a job you suck. Even in civilised countries where you still have access to health care and support from the government so you don’t starve to death or have to leave your house.
We need to improve the quality of live for the job less so that layoffs aren’t a bad thing anymore.
Also if you can live without working the average pay check will raise.

Definitely agree. “Making a living” is a dumb concept when society could absolutely provide universal programs to fulfill everyone’s basic needs. Instead, societal resources are allocated to a few wealthy sociopaths so they can hoard it and disproportionately control world affairs according to their own selfish interests. What a world it would be if nobody had to work just to stay alive, and everyone instead could contribute their best selves to society on their own terms.
