### Easy. A truck driver buys a few shares of the company that owns
robotic trucks. Since the wealth generated by the company is enormous,
the dividends on those few shares equal his real income. He can retire
and enjoy a pleasant, robot-and-capitalism supported life (there are
some wrinkles to this analysis, could be discussed with an
economically-minded person).

### In Newspeak, right is wrong, and wrong is right. You believe the
opposite of the truth, you blame the solution for the problem and see
the problem as the solution. Just as intended by those who formed your
mind.
