Wait! Aren't other folks entitled to the "easy life"? Do we want
a world where certain countries are held back to the "hard life" to
be caretakers of wilderness? That will perpetuate "North-South"
tensions and mass migrations of people to the "easy life" in
developed countries.
This isn't just an issue of profits; it's an issue of quality of
life and fairness. Why should people in India, China, Brazil, etc.
have to keep doing work that machines can do just because other
countries are already developed?
