@troberts@theblower.au I wonder if he knows there was a story about this in Analog Science Fiction magazine in the late 70s or early 80s. IIRC, the government taxed robot-labour companies, and provided a kind of Universal Basic Income (you had to study to get it, because humans were capable of creative thought, and bots weren't, so an educated person was more capable, and wow, look at what people can create if they don't have to waste their lives in an office or a factory).
