With robots on the way, human labor challenged to keep its place

MGB:_In the end, the people must own the robots, not just the investor class. They must also own their own labor. Binary Economics and Distributism are making progress in these areas, as are cooperative (and democratic) socialism. Robots do make life easier for workers, although both design and distribution are less advanced, although Internet ordering, automated warehouses and self-driving delivery trucks using electric power could replace the whole retail sector, although too many people like to shop for that to happen. Indeed, to put workers in charge of the means of production they must first be in charge of the means of consumption. Healthcare, repairs and growing our own hydroponic vegitables, stem cell meats and chickens will probably insure human labor. The point is, how we do that should be up to us, including how we pay for it. I prefer cooperation. It beats continuing to labor in hierarchical capitalist slavery where others decide for us. Yes, I should have been in Rome.
