Who will make them for free? This is a serious question.

Cops convicted of abusing their authority

Why the tongue in cheek answer? I want a serious answer rather than pithy remarks.
If we want a post-scarcity society, let’s start building it, rather than trying to posture on the Internet with seemingly sarcastic remarks.

That was my actual answer
Post scarcity should happen ASAP with robots, don’t know if it will
We should have expensive food (because hard to produce and not enough robots yet) and free rechargeable batteries (because probably easier to produce at scale for a million convicted former cops), but we’ve fumbled that

Robots. This is a serious answer.

Not as good as my serious answer, but your answer will probably be a better answer than mine in a few years

I don’t expect any kind of physical object to be free as in beer…but they definitely have a lot of room for technical improvement to make batteries cheaper

‘Free’ as in ‘paid collectively by taxes’ works for me.

Yup, make corporations pay their fair share of taxes, including on AI and robotic labour.
