As for owning the cars in garages and driveways, there are a few things. One things is the car on the mainland doesn't actually seem to fit what I was talking about. The parking lot you pay for seems to be more of a parking area rather than a personal garage or driveway. As for the one on the island, Idk anything about the island, so I can't say anything here. I know for most people in the US in many of the places I've been to, people can and will park on the curb in front of houses if possible. And if people would rather have more house or yard, they could modify the house to fit those needs. Or buy it like that or whatever... They could even shorten it to have just enough room for the car, saving a bunch of land. Many different things. I have no idea of that's an option for you there. But based on this, you probably wouldn't for the majority who are fine owning a car and would rather not pay a ton for having to basically rent a car (or multiple cars) daily. Or having to keep a car all day, which would probably cost extra. Makes more sense to just own a car. And speaking of the subscriptions, it probably wouldn't be a flat rate. Because distance and stuff matters (like with Ubers or Taxis). And if it was a flat rate, it'd probably be way too high for it to be cheap enough that people would want to pay it... So the people who can't own a car would be better off using public transport, which actually can be pretty cheap in certain areas. Much cheaper than an Uber subscription would most likely be... And waiting on a bus that's on a schedule might be better than waiting on a car, especially if they are all busy when you call for one. And if they aren't because the road's flooded with them, then you'll still be waiting for a while because of nearly stand still traffic. You may even be waiting longer...

And I literally said, "I'm going to be using future tense since they aren't common and in every store, so they are still a future tech as of right now." And they aren't common or in a bunch of stores. That's why I'm still calling it future tech. Most people won't be able to afford it. Hence why I call it future tech. And that's a reply to post #167 quote 4, since you're proven you don't understand context clues or remember anything you post... And it seems like it can barely do anything? That's why I'm asking what it can do. It has that weird hand to pick up nuts, and a vaccum attachment. Can it do stuff other than pick up small items and vacuum? And, like I said earlier, it didn't seem as autonomous as it should have been in a video I saw. The guy bumped a table. But instead of it taking a picture and repositioning itself, it got sad and had to wait for the guys to make it do that. Which seems less autonomous, tbh. And means it would need someone watching it, or checking up on it often... And you just said, "At the moment? Yes. This is still early days for those sorts of robots." Which means I was right when I said it was future tech as it still doesn't actually work the way it's supposed to... I was calling it future tech because it's not common or anything. But it's literally future tech since it doesn't even work the way it's supposed to yet...

As for the roombas, I'm not the one mixing up arguments. You are. My argument has been the same. You literally kept talking about paying the robots. And that was never the issue. The issue is that you would still pay for the robots. Or pay the owners of the robots. You're the only one who brought up paying the roomba like a vending the machine. The whole point is that the roomba that's created by automation still cost money because you have to buy it. Never was I talking about paying a roomba to clean my house. Or paying the robots themselves (unless there were cashier robots, but that's still paying the business and not the robot). It was always about buying the roomba, and paying for the robots. You were the only one talking my about paying Johnny 5 for his services instead of his owner... We can't move on unless you understand that...

And there's not more free shit. We get free samples of stuff. But there's not that much free shit. Most stuff cost money, even if it doesn't cost us money. Or cost something other than money, like information...When I'm talking about free shit, I'm talking about physical free shit. You said that with automation, then stuff robots make will be free. So how come all the physical shit robots make cost money. And cost about the same amount as when humans made them? My point of view makes sense in the real world. Your point of view is the one in a magical world where everything in free for literally no reason other than that's what you want. Mine is based in the real world where shit cost money because human need money to survive.

Also, you seem to be assuming that the store will be selling items at half price. But there's literally no proof of that. Having robots doesn't mean everything in your store is cheaper. You don't price you merchandise based on your workers. You base it on the cost of the items you buy. You understand that's how shit it priced, right? Just because you have robots doesn't mean the items in your store are cheaper. They will most likely be the same price the other store's since you both probably paid the same for them. Store gets items and mark up the price. No workers to pay just means bigger profits for the owners since you have no workers to pay... So the only person wrong here is you...

And not everything you listed is free. But we can go through the list again if you want...

-Music: Youtube have a bunch of music put up by other people who probably should put it up. And it's not free, as the original poster had to buy it from somewhere. And youtube is on the internet, which cost money...

-Pictures: They cannot get you pictures on whatever subject you want. Like pictures of a specific person might not be available. Or pictures of something that doesn't exist might not be available. Also, you could be stealing. Many people watermark their work so that people can't use it without permission. Some are also supposed to be available only on certain sites with permission, but people will buy them and put them up for free for other people to use, even when they aren't actually supposed to. Which is a form of theft. And again, the internet isn't free... And obviously, photos from like cameras and stuff aren't free... And whether you're paying for the material of the photo, it's still not free. That's the whole point. It needs to be free to fit your narrative, and it's not since the materials cost something. That's like saying food is free because you're paying for the materials and not the actual food. And while not everyone needs hard copies of their photos, many like to have them. To give out and stuff... There's a lot of things not everyone needs...

-Videos: No. They are paid for by the ads, so they aren't free. They are paid for us. Like I say later (in the porn part), just because someone else paid for my food doesn't mean it's free. It just means someone else paid for them. And again, not even all the videos can be paid for from the ads. They have many things which you need Youtube Red to watch. And some stuff you still need to buy or rent to watch. So, not free...

-Email: It cost information. So, not nothing. Just a different form of currency. And that a pretty dangerous form of currency to just be giving away... So, it cost something... Which can actually be pretty dangerous, too. Information given away like that has probably helped many people to get scammed... Especially the older folks who don't/didn't understand email all that well...
