Automation and efficiency isn’t inherently bad things though. If all the time and shit work you free up goes toward something useful and not just shareholders pockets then you’ve likely improved the world.
It’s up for your society to decide how it wants to distribute the rewards of its labour.

- cambalache 6y agoI agree with you, but sometimes I wonder if the big share of efficiency gains goes to a select few, somehow efficiency make society worst, at least from an equality point of view. That is what happened in the last 50 years in many countries. Sure you can buy a cheap Android phone for less than 1 day salary, but go buy a house. health insurance, retirement and send 2 kids to college with just one (or even 2) middle class salaries.
