We’re living in strange times

I am posting this in addition to a post I posted the other day where billboards had the words “get married” “reproduce”

Amazon is one of the largest companies in the world by revenue it’s actually the third. Amazon does not pay taxes and Amazon is now in the transitional state of replacing 75% of warehouse manufacturing labor with robots.

In my honest opinion it hurts the overall economy for two reasons 1. Amazon is not paying taxes therefore they’re not contributing and 2 by disrupting the labor market people aren’t getting paid meaning all of that revenue will not go back into the economy it goes entirely to Amazon

What is your reaction to that?

Companies that replace workers with robots should have to pay the equivalent taxes that worker would have paid. A labour becomes increasingly reduced corporations will inevitably have to be taxed to recover lost revenue. Basic personal supplements from the government in the form of a basic income will have to be provided to support the population.

@Muthafukajones I think that’s an absolutely fantastic solution
