That's fair. I guess what's tipping the balance in my mind is that I'm not convinced that those same people wouldn't be able to, at least in significant part, find jobs which would open because of the manufacture and maintenance of these robots, which seems like at least a slightly less exploitative kind of work and worth which doesn't place the extremely high, but deferred, expense of added mileage and vehicle wear and tear on the employee. Given the high amount of wear and tear to these perpetually outdoor robots I figure the maintenance needs are high. Plus it would help reduce the number of interactions where we have tipping, effectively transferring wealth from working people to other working people while the wealthy are taking their relatively abundant free time to instead get fine, sit-down dining where they would presumably tip more affluent service workers from higher socio economic backgrounds.

Yes because there is no difference in degree at all. Benefitless gig work for the largest, most evil, and anti union companies is literally the exact same as every other job. That's definitely how communism works. It's making sure that we keep the worst possible jobs.
