| #3 Baxter has a lot of moving parts that will inevitably require the attention of a mechanic. He will need hardware and software upgrades from time to time. Somewhere along the line he's gonna need a human and that human's salary is gonna have to be considerable if Baxter is so important. |

| #1 Can Baxter make himself? No?! OK don't worry. This does seem to me akin to worrying that no-one will do any kind of work. We should be far more worried about the damage to comparative advantage caused by government taxation on incomes (or deferred AKA via sales). |
