Amazon's humanoid warehouse robots will eventually cost only $3 per hour to operate. That won't calm workers' fears of being replaced.::The robot's human-like shape is bound to reignite workers' fears of being replaced, but Amazon says they're designed to "work collaboratively."

Workers were always going to be replaced and automated pretending otherwise is disingenuous and caters to the absolute most inept among us.

People need to start bitching about taxing these organizations and supporting UBI.

More than UBI we need to empower democratic ownership through things like worker and community lead cooperatives. As well as better systems of education and training for a quickly changing world.

If the only reason people get UBI is to placated them then when we can be ignored or surpressed instead we will be.
