Which as covered in the other thread, is a great idea until the Goverment decides it doesnt like your politics and/or behavior and cuts you off.

Be a good citizen and earn your social credits, or maybe you wont get to book a flight eh comrade?

Well, sure. But there are better pie-in-the-sky ideas we could just decide to implement. We can barely even get the rich to pay taxes in the first place so getting them to pay more taxes for saving money due to automation is a non-starter. All that's assuming we survive the climate catastrophe.

If it’s possible to replace a human worker with automation, they will be. And automation is getting better by the day. It’s weird that everyone knows this will lead to jobless and homeless people but don’t seem to care. That it might affect you later than others doesn’t mean you’re going to be unaffected. So who’s going to buy all the stuff once everyone’s out of work?

I’d suggest that the workers currently on the chopping block sure didn’t seem very empathetic to all the workers before them that lost their jobs to either automation or regulation.

What class? Workers? Writers? Artists? Generally any one of those three will be far, far more sympathetic to someone losing their job than other classes of people, say the owner class or capitalist class. If anything, I'd say you have it backwards. As a class writers and artists are more sympathetic and the ones who are not are the exceptions.
