A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

To be fair, I don't think taxing robots will get you far...

How do you figure. If the workforce becomes by and large robotic, taxing the businesses, based on that, like you would humans, would work well enough. If not, then there needs to be some concession from businesses to pay the same or more as when humans were doing the jobs.

I'm moreso being cheeky about your wording - robots don't own cash, thus can't pay taxes. You must tax businesses.

Fair enough. Lol. I meant the business that own the robots.
