      Wealth inequality isn’t going away anytime soon, but that doesn’t mean you can condemn the entire field of humanoid robots as useless/unreachable for the 99%. There’s probably going to be a point when a suzuki swift (geo metro for americans) equivalent of a robot will come along.

        That’s exactly what it means. Even a geo metro is a garbage machine that’s completely unaffordable for most of humanity and literally destroying the planet. There’s nothing to be gained by normalizing inequality and minimizing its very terrible effects.
