Earth has advanced once again.
Robots now do all labour, manual, creative, business, any form of labour is done by a robot, and autonomous robots.
But we were clever, only just, to incorporate the 1 robot policy before it all got out of hand.
The One Robot Policy.
Abstract:
Robots (Automated Devices, i.e. self driving cars, factory arms, Solar panels which move to catch sunlight) are owned by humans who receive income based on the job it does and the requirements put on it, and modified by the level of maintenance it has received recently. The robot cannot be owned by a corporation or by groups of people. Basic minimum wage robots are awarded to all 15yr olds upon passing yr10 in school, and robot maintenance is a require subject by all yr 8->10 students.
The Idea is that humans will still need to put in some effort, but only enough to keep the economic machine rolling, give them income enough to survive and time to be creative or productive in moving humans forward.
To advance in income, a person should save some of their income for improvements of their robot, OR to buy an upgraded version OR to buy a better robot that earns more money in a different field of expertise. The common idea is to buy a robot in an area where the human has an interest and has possibly made some creative advances, and can improve their robots performance.
A human can own more than one robot, and can possibly pay others to maintain their robots, but their income is taxed on thresholds, based on both the amount of income and the number of robots in your ownership.
1. All Robots must be owned by humans.
1.a. All Robots must be owned by 1 person and only 1 person.
1.a. Corporations and Companies may hire robots from their humans, at competitive rates, based on the robots specs.
1.b. Individuals may hire Robots from their owners at agreed upon rates.
2. The first Robot will not be taxed.
2.a. The first Robot is awarded to a child at age 15, who will be trained in its maintenance for 1 year.
3. A Robots owner is require to maintain and repair their own robot(s)
addendum:
A Robot is an Autonomous machine which performs a task, and can maintain itself to perform this task for at lest 1 week.
Its Tasks can be manually or programmatically entered into it, and for the sake of Safety, will need to be passed by the ROHSC dept in any given city.
