Re:A Robot Makes a Mean Caesar Salad, but Will It Cost Jobs? by gehwartzen on Tuesday October 10, 2017 @11:23PM (#15447063)
Who do the 25% sell all their custom salads to? Automation is great at producing consumer goods not so much at producing luxury goods. One would think that the problem of not enough consumers to buy the stuff automation produces would be a self limiting mechanism. A UBI doesnt really address the problem either because it is essentially just taking money from those that own the automation equipment and giving it to those that don't so they can turn around and buy stuff from the automation equipment :/
