I think automation of most jobs is going to be terrible. You have big corporations controlling most production and services. How is this a good thing? It's just going to be rich vs poor, except the rich hold nearly all the cards. Imagine what happens if they get robotic soldiers or policemen, we can't compete against them. Automation only lets the rich save money. Yes, not having to work all the time would be good, but no work at all will suck. I just don't get why people are pushing for this

Well, whether it is a good or bad thing is irrelevant. It's inevitable that this will happen and thats why UBI has been such a hot topic of discussion lately.
It's always been rich vs poor, more so in the past when the middle class wasn't even a thing!
And I think people are pushing for it so we don't end up in a world like the movie Elysium!
yeah I think we are going to need a UBI. I still think it's going to be bad though. We are going to depend on the rich for most things, and we won't have a use.
