Conclussion: if robot labor leads to mass unemployment it will be mass unemployment in Asia...
Introducing UBI because of mass unemployment caused by robots is just totally plucked out of thin air.

asian workers are still cheaper than robots...western ones are not...
there has never been a time like this in history...robots used to be expensive and complicated to program...the new robots out there cost 1 western yearly salary total and literally learn by watching you work...
what is even more scary is software...AI will replace humans much more than robots ever could...right now software is trading on wall street and not humans...
there is no coming back from this one...
