Freedom idea, if automation is inevitable it should primarily benefit humanity. This would increase labor power and immediately have an upward wage effect. Also would allow creative types to focus fully on their pursuits rather then a sh**tty job.

Wouldn't it also be deeply inflationary? It would cause a dramatic price increase on goods that make up a large portion of where income goes for both middle class and lower class families. The rich would be relatively unscathed in this sort of thing.

That's why it should be inflation adjusted
