There is no one human more powerful than he or she who runs the vacuum. Unless it's a robot.

Think, for a moment, about the power a lowly vacuum pusher can command. They can get past any guard, stop any conversation, and always have an excuse to leave the room. People will let them slip by with a nod, executives will say "Excuse me" and move to the side, even kings and queens will politely give way without even a second thought to the matter. And if you trip over a cord, who comes to your aid? No one! And anyone who sees it happen will blame the person who actually tripped!

That's far too much power for one person to possess. That's why vacuum robots are the wave of the future. It'll still go anywhere and clean anything, but it won't need a cord, and it doesn't understand power. It'll just do the job and move on.

No longer will the billionaire be forced to report to the janitor! At last, the final obstacle that prevents equality between the rich and the poor is removed.
