If the workforce democratically decides to keep people employed whose job can be done cheaper by AI, that company will not survive in the long term.
So either we as a society decide to artificially keep people in jobs that aren't needed anymore, or we have to give the labor cost savings to the people instead of the owners.
Both is not possible under a Capitalist system, so that will have to go.
labor cost savings to the people instead of the owners.
This is the way.
Profit sharing should be a part of our laws.
Taxes are essentially profit sharing
No.
Taxes pay for the infrastructure that companies rely on to operate.
Taxes don't reward the workers for their contribution to the companies bottom line.
