Which is wonderful - we got much cheaper telephone calls, and eventually women were able to learn more useful skills and work on more critical work where they're required.
Automation is fantastic.
Stopping wealth accumulation, high barriers of entry and risk for entrepreneurs (e.g. hassle and bureaucracy filing extra taxes, getting separate bank accounts, data privacy protections, high cost of living / properties, high interest rates, etc.) and providing free, widespread access to education are the real problems that need to be solved.
As someone who's started a couple businesses, the separate taxes and bank accounts weren't that bad. The biggest barrier to entry is your first point, which is wealth accumulation. The ultra wealthy have cornered so many markets it's virtually impossible to get a start in most industries.
Ideally, we need to patent a way to automate the redistribution of wealth.
