Comment by Robert Reich
Former Secretary of Labor
As AI takes over their current work, most workers will probably get poorer or have to take additional jobs to maintain their current pay. [...] AI will make most of us poorer and a few fabulously wealthy — unless its productivity gains are allocated fairly.AI Verified source (2026)

Verified: the source URL opens to Robert Reich’s Feb. 11, 2026 Substack post "AI and the Coming Jobless Economy"; its subtitle contains the "AI will make most of us poorer..." sentence verbatim. Reich’s bylined Guardian version of the same argument, published Feb. 18, 2026, contains the "So, as AI takes over..." sentence verbatim. So the quoted passage is authentic, with [...] correctly omitting intervening text, though it combines the subtitle and body text of the piece.

Quote attributed to Robert Reich about AI making "most of us poorer." Web search confirms this from his Substack article "AI and the Coming Jobless Economy" in 2026. Multiple sources (RealClearPolitics, EurasiaReview, Futurism) reference the same phrases. Vote "against" is correctly aligned -- Reich explicitly says AI will make most workers poorer unless gains are redistributed. Year 2026 is current. Quote is relevant to statement 389.

AI Unverifiable
Source URL (Robert Reich Substack) returned HTTP 403, blocking direct fetch. Web search confirms Robert Reich wrote "AI will make most of us poorer and a few fabulously wealthy -- unless its productivity gains are allocated fairly" on his Substack in February 2026. Confirmed by RealClearPolitics, Eurasia Review, and Futurism. Vote direction (against) is correct since Reich argues AI will make most workers poorer. Year (2026) and author attribution are correct.
