Want better pay? Kill the intelligent robots or kill our current forms of capitalism.

USSR crash survivor here. Believe me, there are things worse than the current form of capitalism.
Besides, the trouble isn't about capitalism per se, our economy is simply in another stagnant stretch, where the corporations with formalized models and piles of cash perform better than lean and smart startups. As soon as another disruptive tech appears on the horizon, the history will repeat itself - the dinosaurs will be too slow to follow and new Microsoft and Apple will arise.

In Europe (at least Scandinavia and Germany), the discussion about unconditional basic income is becoming a thing now :)
When our work gets more and more effective, either 1) the cost of living for all individuals drop or 2) a few people benefit and get really, really rich while those whose jobs are less needed drop income.
The latter is what's happening right now. But does a society want that?
