for the money they save through automation....they should need to pay a portion of the salaries they've saved to some form of fund for a Universal Basic Income or something to funnel that money back to people. Because what happens when every company does this...who will have the money to buy their shitty products?

Indeed, I think thats probably where we are headed, though I think eventually they will get tired of paying us to buy shit and just get rid of us

UBI would be the end of human civilization, if not the human race entirely.
