Are you talking money here? Robots don't need money. Tokens can be given to people to use the benefits of the robots. People who are fearful that they won't have a place in life, need not be. People will be way more inventive than robots for a long time. People will always be able to find themselves something to do.
The metals, software and chips needed for manufacturing robots needs to be purchased from somewhere. Also, the robots need electricity for their operation, and paid services such as GPS and software subscription to perform normally.
Exactly. People don't appreciate something, which is given for free. Wasteful spending and vandalism will follow. Subsidizing the public transport is a good idea. But making it entirely free may be bad.
Further exactly. So, you realize that something that isn't free isn't appreciated? Well then work to keep yourself from using the free stuff. Work hard and figure out a way. Or pay for those who want it free. Nobody says you have to use free stuff. Just don't use it. There will be lots of people like you. Join with them and work like crazy. It will even be tougher for you, because you will have to fight your own temptation to use the free stuff. Be an man/woman. Stand up and work.
But let those of us who want the easy life have it.
If government, for example, offered a free meal to everyone, this doesn't mean that everyone would have to accept it. If the beach was free for all, this doesn't mean that everyone would have to use the freedom to use the beach. Some people would still want to work for it.
Let them work if they want. Let those of us who want to eat free, or to use the beach free, let us do it.
