Re: Our scrap dealing future
"You could (for instance) introduce a national minimum wage, and watch a number of companies move manufacturing to China to reduce costs."
OTOH robots in manufacturing could reduce the costs so that it becomes cheaper to move the manufacturing closer to the market & bring manufacturing back from China. There'll be some associated employment even with robotic manufacturing and everyone else can make a precarious living selling each other stuff on ebay.
