Maybe I should run as a democrat on a platform of charging an annual 'employee offset fee' on each machine that replaces a human. Order kiosks, ATMs, vending machines. I almost forgot Roobas. A whole new revenue stream. It's "for the children", you understand.
That’s exactly what I’m thinking of.
The economic result will be to divert the saved money from being invested by the company in new job producing enterprises to welfare income instead.
An economically devastating but politically rewarding outcome.
