Scott Galloway: Taxes for Robots

Winner or loser? Robots, who could hold 40% of U.S. jobs by 2030. Winner: Viewers as Amazon, Netflix and HBO compete to produce original content. Winner: Consumers, who now have more options for drugstore staples thanks to a wave of innovative startups. Loser: Corporate PR departments failing to adequately address the United and Pepsi scandals.
