You don't need a salary once you have robots doing our jobs. If you need something, you go to the Amazon.com web site, order the stuff you want, and the robots build or grow it and deliver it to your place with googlecars. Robots don't need salary, so you don't have to pay them to work for you. Now you may ask what about the transition period when not everything is robotisized yet? It's why we need universal revenue. So we may stop working for capitalistic corporations, and instead work on the resource based robotic production and distribution system. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ “The factory of the future will have only two employees, a man and a dog.
