Look, as private industries automate and liquidate jobs, whatever equity they create should somehow be split with the people. As time goes on, more and more jobs will be automated. There will be less opportunities for employment, but the systems themselves will be producing more widgets than ever. Who's going to buy them? If there's no wage, there's no demand. So what? Are we going to push automation off, to preserve labor to preserve the system? But if automation moves forward, and wage disappears, are we going to let all the wealth generated transfer to a few? This is just an idea, I'm not the only one talking about how automation has only served privatization, as far as wage goes. I may have nicer gadgets than the rest of the world, but if I lose my job, I'm on the street. That's not the equity we deserve.
