Bill Gates made a splash recently with a controversial statement about how to deal with the impact of technology on the job market.

His logic is that a tax will reduce the pace of automation and the money raised would be used for retraining displaced workers.
Personally, I think Ol’ Billy has gone a bit bonkers.
