So some kind of techno quasi-socialism. Sounds great. I wonder who's gonna get in the way of that, Bill?

But are we still paid the same? Otherwise it would be working 2 jobs which one during "weekends". Much worse.

I'm even ok with the 0-day work week, as long as I get the salary in time.

He just wants to own the machines and keep all the wealth they create.

That's The Jetsons, Bill. You're describing the setting of The Jetsons.

I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to that kind of lifestyle, so long as you don't ascribe to the fan theory that the Flintstones takes place on the ground below the towers
