So, you figured out there were some riddles, went back and solved a whole bunch, many of you have points, and we're back to page 95. How cool.
Now that everyone knows the score, it's time to start playing with those points a little. When attempting to answer a question, you can gamble your points; however many of them you wish. You must have some points to do this, of course. End your answer with "I put [x] points on it" or some slight variation thereof, and you're on. If you are correct, you get double those points back +1. So if you had 2 points, gambled them on a correct answer, you would have 5 points. The thread would also go up by 2 pages instead of 1. If your answer is incorrect you lose your points, and the thread also loses 2 pages. There can only be one active bid per unique answer. There can be multiple active bids, as long as they have different answers. If the first answer to the question has no bid that answer will be taken, and any subsequent bid ignored. Good luck!

Man this is now russian roulette but 200 people have tommyguns with full clips. And we're inside a glass building balancing on an elephant in a porcelain shop at an artillery firing range on the yellowstone supervolcano.
Large scale, high quality automation replacing more and more jobs seems inevitable, meaning more money for owners of capital and fewer jobs (or wages plummeting to make inferior human workers a viable alternative to drones and AIs).
The obvious answer as we gain more and more from automation is a guaranteed minimum income, and other essentially socialist programs that rise in quality as more tax revenue comes in from automated labour (e.g. free education for all, making it easier to get those jobs still beyond automation).
But it also seems inevitable that owners of capital will be reluctant to relinquish their horde of wealth, at least in nations like America, and are infinitely capable of rationalizing their wealth share, the suffering of others, etc
It seems impossible for there to be a switch to automation without some discontent and disruption.
Will there be an ideological shift toward wealth redistribution? Will there be an enormous class conflict that leads to political change? Will there be enough dissatisfaction with stagnation that violence will ensue, and if so, will the centralization of wealth and technology also mean a centralization of power significant enough to create a dystopian cyberpunk plutocracy? Would other nations achieve a technosocialist utopia and intervene? Would America's automated military might render it immune to intervention? Are we going to be able to get robot hands? I'd love some robot hands.

the obvious answer is not to violently overthrow the rich or become owners of the automatons themselves but
but
to become but humble wage slaves maintaining the automatons
maybe we learn a little programming at night
specifically, how to make them eat the rich
then we find all the robots guilty
and when they come to eat us, we reprogram them
