Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The alternative: let the ultra wealthy be the only ones with robots, and watch them literally take everything, and evict us to swamps. The lucky few get to be sex slaves, zoo animals, and torture victims, while the rest get to starve or be hunted down by drones.
That's a classic false dilemma, there's plenty of other options besides those two extremes.
Ok then, elaborate.
Cmon, you've posited two extremely improbable scenarios, do you really need others to point out the more likely ones, that don't involve us going full Mad Max?
UBI is one of the obvious ones. Tax the means of production, and make sure everybody has the basic necessities for survival.
