We could limit robotics for mass producing food and basic goods to allow for the minimum. We could of course maintain a standard that allows for work for people outside of these areas. why would one want to flip burgers? Scan or sort crap??? The jobs can be focusing on things that matter.
If they are perfectly healthy, and perfectly fine, and every opportunity that they get, they turn down, and don't want to work?
I believe there will always be jobs and the ability to innovate. People if they wish to work should be able to become wealthy and to work to their hearts content. I am just saying that no one should have to suffer or be on the side of the street.If they are perfectly healthy, and perfectly fine, and every opportunity that they get, they turn down, and don't want to work?
Why not?
Are you saying they have the right to rob people if they don't wan to work?
So you think the people that do work should pay for all you people who don't? And you think you should have an equal say through voting as those who actually contribute?
The problem with the Soviet union is it relied on workers that were human to do the production. It wasn't efficient and so it didn't work as humans expect something and so the state had to use force. This is why A.i and robots are probably the solution and I am not saying that one shouldn't be able to work and have the ability to function in a capitalic way. I am saying that we should use this tech to set a minimum.
Maybe at the store with the price of the good, but in general their will probably be no more taxes then now. We're talking about machines and once they're in place they will be able to work for decades on end, so most of the resources will come out of corporate resources.
Maybe we can use foodstamps and UBI stamps depending on rather it is food or not. UBI stamps can be for machine or robotic produced goods and can be done the same way as foodstamps.
Are the Robots and A.I. going to pay income tax? Asking for a laid off worker.
If folks are too old to work, or if they are mentally ill, or have some disability that the social security administration, in consultation with medical professionals, has determined, that they are no longer able to be gainfully employed, I do see your point, yes, of course. No one in our nation does have to be on the street. We have laws to make sure this does not happen.
I think Musk said something about a value added tax, and Gates commented on this as well. . .

But he foresees putting those replaced workers to use, working someplace else?
Robot taxes and universal basic income: How do we manage our automated future?
As more and more jobs are becoming automated, the world faces a dramatic shift in the underlying structures of its labor economies over the next 20 to 50 years. The conversation is slowly becoming more prominent in the mainstream with several major figures highlighting the problem and proposing…
How a VAT could tax the rich and pay for universal basic income | Brookings
A value-added tax with a UBI would be a progressive tax that raises much-needed federal revenue.
Oh, you have a choice.
Think about it. What I am really saying is turning this on its head where the American citizen doesn't ever need to go without basic food and shelter. We can use this aid money to go where it belongs.
In fantasy land. That's the only place this fairy dust idea will ever happen
Assuming what you say is true, millions of jobs will be done by robots, the very wealthy are already past the planning stage and engaged in massive population reduction.For the destitute that are too sick to work, too disabled, and have no long term prospects of getting better, the social security administration has programs to make sure they will not live on the streets.
For any other able bodied person in our society, no, what you are suggesting is still folly.
This type of drivel, shows a fundamental lack of understanding of basic economic principles, i.e., supply and demand. The only way this will work, is if we have a fully automated work force.
It may, in the future, be possible, to have some sort of subsistence level UBI, when robots take over jobs, like mass shipping, logging, mining, carpentry, and a whole host of other jobs, that will put masses, I mean hundreds of thousands, even millions, of technical skilled workers out of a jobs. I am even reading now, that highly skilled, degreed jobs, and artistic jobs, are starting to be done by AI.
At this point, we may indeed, need some strategy, or way, to feed, house and cloth, all these masses of workers affected by economic dislocations, where no more gainful employment is available. For what types of gainful employment would be available, if all trade jobs are being done by robots, and all highly technical and skilled work is done by AI?
But that time? Seems to be, still, some time off yet. A decade?
Robots Could Relieve Skilled Tradespersons From Repetitive Work
". . . Statistics show that 54% of construction contractors have trouble finding enough skilled workers. Relatedly, 81% of respondents said the skilled tradespeople they do have must take on more work to accommodate the lack.
Robots could play an instrumental role in handling the tasks that could make skilled workers more prone to fatigue and injuries. Jim Page is a veteran of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry who currently trains apprentices. He gave an example of how robots could help with welding.
“In the shop production side, if it takes three welders to get it done and part of the process being done by two of those welders is a repetitive process, that process could be put into a jig and could be performed by a robot.” However, that doesn’t take humans out of the picture.. . "
How Do Robotics Affect Skilled Trade Jobs? | RoboticsTomorrow
With more companies bringing robotics and automation into their facilities, many people understandably wonder if machines will eventually replace their jobs.www.roboticstomorrow.com
And yet? Once the OTR semis do become truly able to be driver-less? This is something we may have to grapple with.

But you don't understand basic economics.
