Politics Statement
As robots are taking over more jobs, we need to tax the robots, and boost social services for the new class of unemployed that is likely to grow as tech takes over more and more sectors, pushing people out of work.
Can we make that a good thing? e.g. Universal Basic Income, time to follow passions instead of labour.
