- steve_adams_86 3y agoArguably we haven't seen redistribution of wealth due to past automation advances, so it seems unreasonable to believe it will happen now. As automation has improved in the last decades especially, wealth has disproportionately moved upwards.

- antisthenes 3y agoYes, the complete impotency of anti-trust and big business regulation over the last 50-60 years. And any political willpower that exists is constantly used for smearing campaigns for either side of the political spectrum (e.g. look at them, they are the bad guys). Automation tax is also the worst possible outcome, since it both stifles innovation AND doesn't address the redistribution problem.
