Amazon hopes to replace 600,000 US workers with robots, according to leaked documents

Amazon is reportedly leaning into automation plans that will enable the company to avoid hiring more than half a million US workers. Citing interviews and internal strategy documents, The New York Times reports that Amazon is hoping its robots can replace more than 600,000 jobs it would otherwise have to hire in the United States by 2033, despite estimating it’ll sell about twice as many products over the period.

Politics should already been talking about the replacement of workers by robots and the risks for the society and the economy. If you don't pay people for work, they'll not have money to buy what you're selling. It’s a lose-lose situation.

I'm wondering what will be the solution. Like a "universal revenue", either you're working or not ?

This is actually a thing / or at least a real discussion, it's called Universal Basic Income.

It is also mentioned in The Great Reset (2030 agenda) by the World Economic Forum in the concept of "Sustainable Development"
