Or AI takes off so that labor becomes worthless and owning things is all that matters and labor gets gaslight that it's a them problem until capital has built a big enough army of murderbots to put down anyone who says the emperor has no clothes.

I'm hoping for something inbetween the apocalyptic possibilities.

someone needs to weld those murderbots, or pick up the little piece of scrap keeping the welding bot from making more murderbots, or to take over welding when the murderbots all stop working and start watching Sanctuary Moon 24/7

Even if murderbots don't work out, we're only a few sheriffs or prosecutors away from seeing Pinkertons deployed against any effective strikes.

Based on how the rule of law is going, maybe we're already there.
