We would move faster towards post scarcity if businesses were economically incentivized to uptake automation faster (and then we tax businesses [1] to fund social safety nets).

If we continue to encourage an economic system through policy that is satisfied with labor making wages that provides a dystopian poverty level of life quality, it will take longer to arrive post scarcity. Economic incentives matter!
