The poor will always have the only thing the rich want. Labor. Without labor Trump cannot slather the white house in gold. Without labor Zuck cannot smoke meats. Without labor Musk cannot troll people on X.
The rich do not want anything you have, they want you. Body and soul.
Robots can take most of the jobs, but the feeling of power over other humans they likely cannot replace.
> Robots can take most of the jobs
Not in our lifetimes and certainly not in our form of society. Robots will only drive down the price of labor. People will always be able to supply labor at costs below the price of materials for robots.
" People will always be able to supply labor at costs below the price of materials for robots."
Why? What critical materials do robots need that will always be more expansive than raising a human?
Also, from the point of "the rich" - the benefit of a robot is, that it will (stupidly) do as command, unlike a human. They don't have a family they want to take care first.
