This is what I'm talking about. We'd better start preparing the social and technological infrastructure to sustain this. Time to turn governmental policy (policies of old) towards robot policies.

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

Found out a principle to guide my running home policy:
1.Minimize one-term stoplights.
2. (More practical corollary) Always choose the direction that minimizes Euclidean distance.
(Pictured, a lucky case of this policy.)

Human-centric skills (lightcast.io/products/dat...) have one notion of Skills. Another is what is actually, computationally done in the physical world. It would be interesting to approach automation from this angle, especially on a hot summer day when employed manual labor sounds particularly unfun.
Lightcast Taxonomies - Skills, Occupations, Titles
Lightcast taxonomies define the relationship between skills, titles, and occupations so that you can understand the labor market as clearly as possible.

Who will benefit from this revolutionary transformation?
Will it be working class Americans or the billionaires who own the technology?
That is the economic struggle of our time.

Listening to NYT's The Daily... Tom Homan seems to change his mind on whether illegal immigration (from any number of years ago) is a crime that should lead to deportation (no to yes). He says it isn't, then he infers it, then he says it.

Maybe it's an emergency that a huge swath of human labor will get automated in the next < 5 years. (If it doesn't it really really should.)
And yet ownership doesn't change so we get those cost savings through being customers of competing businesses.

We need more business tools to facilitate worker ownership. Business tools are at first built for hierarchies; automation at first displaces - not replaces/upgrades - workers.
The workers do the ins and outs of business, the rest exploit, but do functions that are easier to automate.
