      You were correct in deleting your comment. It was complete bullshit.

      (Bellow is what the above person wrote to me. This person likes to comment then delete what the wrote which to me is in bad faith.)

      Let’s hypothesis for a moment. Let’s pretend tomorrow there was 1 humanoid robot with above average intelligence for each working class human. The robot costs 10% of what a human costs and is owned by the ultra wealthy. Before we consider who’s going to buy products and pay rent ask, with that amount of power and the ability to command nearly 8 billion robots, do they need the anyone to buy their products or pay the rent? They can get whatever they want from their robot army that working class people could provide and for a fraction of the price.

          You’re saying that people who own corporations would replace every worker with 8 billion autonomous robots just to avoid paying wages.

          Do you see how flawed that argument is? Did you read my original point, that without workers earning income, there would be no one left to buy the products or services these corporations sell? The entire global economic system is based on consumption. If people aren’t making money, how exactly are they supposed to consume anything?

          You’re essentially arguing that corporations would eliminate their own customer base before considering the consequences to their business model.

          These companies generate billions precisely because they understand how markets function. Undermining demand on that scale would be self-destructive, not profitable.

          I’m sorry I have to be the one to tell you this but you’re stupid. You know you’re stupid because you deleted your comment on bad faith so others wouldn’t see it. The fact that you’re self aware is even more distressful because you obviously want to say what you want to say regardless of how idiotic it sounds. Omg. You’re a rare sort. I don’t think I’ve ever come across someone like you yet!

          Wow, loser response. Enjoy being that way.
