How does Robotics fit in?

Hi, All!

What do you all think about robotic workers, and how will they affect our economy?

Wealth redistribution or sharing does not cause debt. Overspending causes debt. Economics 101

Think: profit sharing and commonly held stock in national corporation controlling the production and manufacturing of said robots, with an elected Board of chairpersons responsible for the management thereof
