Yea let's just keep workers in such a precarious state that they not only must sell their labor for pennies, but incredibly they must now supply the capital to the corporation, all to do a job that isn't even necessary for a human to do, is hazardous for the worker and the public, and generates tremendous amounts of pollution. Why the "optics" aren't already absolute dog shit is left as an exercise for the reader.
This is a strawman. He's advocating that things shouldn't become worse than they are, you are ignoring that point and instead just talking about how bad things are now (without any regard to how worse this would make it).
No. I'm arguing that a clean, electric fleet of autonomous cars, that would maim and kill far fewer people, where the capital is provided by the corporation instead of being extracted from workers through deception, would be a vast improvement over the status quo. We don't need to perpetuate a system of pollution, exploitation, injury, death just so workers can busy themselves performing unnecessary tasks for starvation wages.
