Awww man! Billy G. went H.A.M on the metal faces recently
Â
What am I talking about?
Â
Well our friend the computer nerd Bill Gates says that
Â
Robots need to pay taxes because they are taking money from
Â
Others that would pay taxes.
Â
Â
Damn Bill why you had to come at the robots like that?
Â
Â
But you know, Bill actually has a pretty good point.
Â
You see, the robots that people are employing have helped
Â
Companies save wads of cash that they are in turn, not using
Â
So you have a lose-lose here where companies are taking potential
Â
Dollars and instead of it circulating in the economy, it simply gets
Â
Tucked away for a rainy day (like maybe when the robots revolt?)
Â
Â
But there is a valuable lesson that we can all take away from this.
I would like you to consider that hoarding is stealing.
Â
Call it karma or what have you
Â
But when you take something from one place after awhile
Â
Without replacing it, it either
Â
A) Will cease to exist orÂ
B) Will want back what you took from it
Either way, its apparent that something like value has to either be
Â
Redistributed or returned.Â
Â
So now the question is, what do you have that you are holding on to?
Â
What do you have that has value that needs to go back out in the world?
Â
Would Bill Gates say that you are stealing?
Â
Maybe…
Â
Â
But the point here isn’t actually about whether you’re stealingÂ
Â
It’s really what you’re giving.
Â
And I hope for all of our sake it’s at leastÂ
Â
Â
A damn…

Â
P.S. This one got away from me a little, but I hope it doesn’t distract from
Â
The point that I’m trying to make about the importance of sharingÂ
Your highest value with the world.
I suppose I could have summed this email with one simple rule
Redistribute what you can’t return. Talk soon…
