As long as they keep the robots happy and stave off the Cylon revolt, I'm fine with this.
So, soon robots will have: Health (maintenance) insurance. Social Security. 401K. Life insurance. ETA: Shows how desperate the Euros are for money. If BREXIT happens, they lose the world's fifth largest economy and BOOM. They are finished. |

Just like taxes to pay for Johnstown flood damage of 1938 or whatever, don't go away. They will probably add taxes to each meal to pay for displaced people, equivalent to about $15/hour |

This is economics not feels- well it's mostly feels
It's not about the robot, it's about motivating an employer to keep a human working instead of tech and to pay for many human's pensions not covered due to industrialization/automation replacing younger workers. This is "good" for blue color jobs. I wonder how Trump feels about this? |

I'm guessing it's some kind of way to keep robots from taking people's jobs?
Government relies on voters to be elected, not robots. I am sure some kind of system is setup to compensate unemployed people or is setup to make a crazy high robot tax. |
