But what are you going to eat once you run out of rich people?

[-] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 days ago

the food that i bought/exchanged from my local farmer for a fair price

And what are you going to pay him with?

[-] cowardsgfy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

we're not going to pay him because he didn't farm it. we're going to pat the robot on the head. we're going to do R&D and implement the technologies that actually work for the people not the few.

if money is not existent at this point, i will, as mentioned in my original comment, exchange it for something else, be it other goods, or my services as a mechanic, electrician, metal worker, or IT-support (yes i know, kind of an outlier)

If you think a complex, modern society can be run on barter trade, I have some bad news for you.

No complex society has ever been run without money. While that's no proof, that is impossible, I don't care to be part of this particular social experiment.
