Do robots make $15/hour?

Inquiring minds want to know.

The mandated minimum hourly rate led companies to buy robots. Anytime something is successful, leave it to the left to tax it to death.

The robots don't want to work for nothing.

Aoc believes people who are able to land jobs
As toll collectors, would be better served being
Scientists and artists while their replacement robot
Pays the tax bill.

Umm, yeah., see there’s a problem aoc.
Someone who is maximizing their potential
Making change, probably isn’t missing out
On developing the next engine for nasa.

Would it really be fair to text a robot who has only one arm and no legs?

Don’t the Democrats have any empathy for the disabled?

Socialism: Everything can be fixed with a tax because the answer to everything is a tax and if you cannot pay the tax then there is a prison for that.

As long as the lame street media and Dummycrats continue to give her a voice every day, her nonsense will continue.

And that’s just going to piss the robots off.

That’s how it starts.

Do not laugh....Democrats have wanted a value-added tax for a long time. Automation gives them the ability to levy one.

You see, taxable income is still set by the market.
Profits are set by the market.

But the value added to an item by a robot is determined by a bureaucrat....hence, the ideal situation under socialism.

The owners of the robots are already taxed. Nobody's escaping the tax-man.

I have had liberals blow up at me when I suggested alternatives to universal basic income (UBI) to the robots taking all our jobs.
They said there is no other alternative to the high unemployment. I said yes, there is, reduce the labor pool.
How do you do that? Close the borders to end immigration, stop issuing visas, and deport illegal immigrants and their American born kids.
That would end the population growth, and it would reduce the labor pool by millions. Equally importantly, it stabilizes or reduces the size of the next generation.
Now you have fewer people competing for the fewer jobs that cannot be outsourced or automated. Unemployment doesn’t go up as high as it otherwise would.
If you DO have to pay unemployment, it becomes more sustainable because you aren’t paying for an increasing pool of unemployed people.

First make sure the robots run on Green Energy, not fossil fuels. Put lttle solar cells or windmills atop their little robot heads!
Then, $15 hr. min. wage for robots. Robots need a humane, liveable wage!
Then, 90% tax rate— but only for the richest robots! At the “tippy top”!
