How do you feel about an Optimus Robot tax credits?
Right now, I think there are still $7,500 credits for energy efficient vehicles. There are pell grants of about $5,000 per year (20K total over 4 years). Something like $7,500 in solar credits. Just these three alone, you are looking at about $35K per person in tax savings. For that we get some middling amount of climate change reduction, and a middling amount of people who otherwise could afford college trying to get a degree, and often dropping out or getting a degree that does not meaningfully improve their lives.
For that same amount of tax credit, you could give everyone who can't afford one a new Optimus Robot, for free. These robots would have the entirety of human knowledge pre-loaded, work tirelessly 24-7 on your behalf, and substantially improve the standard of living of basically everyone who gets one.
What are your thoughts about this?
