A portion of wealth will have to be redirected toward sustaining now unproductive segment of society that was displaced by robots. In other words, a nanny state that most of you use as a boogeyman.

How do you think US will look like with DOW at 200,000 (present day dollars) and 50% unemployment?


Your whole premise is false.
You are saying if we replaced workers with robots today, sure it would cause untold amounts of problems.
Your magical robots do not show up out of thin air to replace people. This will take a lot longer then 2045.
I think even you are smart enough to know this is a bullshit question.
There will not be 50% unemployment, if there are not enough jobs for people the people can not buy what the robots make so the robots will be turned off.

Its very easy to be a progressive when facts do not get in the way.
