I don't get the naysayers, I absolutely see this happening. Take senior care, absurdly expensive even with low cost human labor, $100K a year. If we had $50k robots, it would be a game changer. People could live out their final years in their home with 24/7 personal care.

Is this really some new "trend"? Didn't we define this pretty funnily and sarcastically with "AKSHUALLY" like 15 years ago?
the irony...

weird, I thought the labor theory of value was "debunked".

This is perhaps the worst argument possible for restricting the rights of a certain group.
Corporations are not people. They don't have rights.
>American big box stores are full of so much junk no one actually needs. It is good for there to be a tax on it.
Seems pretty paternalistic to me. Why not let people decide for themselves whether they "actually need" the $5 plastic trinket from china? Do you not trust adults to make informed decisions on what they're buying?
No I don't. The only thing consumers care about is price. They don't consider pollution, waste, labor conditions.
So if the only lever you have to affect consumers is price, then you must factor in the negative factors with higher prices.

Oh, give me a break with all the whining about cancel culture!
Cancel culture used to be called social exclusion/ostracism, and it has been how people police themselves against undesirable people in pre-internet communities where most everybody knew everybody. If you were considered an ass, eventually the only person listening to you was you.
Not saying this as a value judgement, just that this practice is ancient.
While you have a right of free speech, the rest of us have the right not to listen to you, nor to be forced to listen to you, nor to interact with you.
>you were considered an ass
You were considered an ass by people that actually knew you. The internet lynch mob takes a 30 second clip of a person they don't know and demand that the person have their life destroyed.
