That sounds like an interesting novel or movie, but utterly impractical in the real world.
Entirely too easy to game, or imagine a scenario where several generations after it's implementation, "high producing" robot jobs are inherited, creating a permanent upper class and a permanent lower class, because the only jobs that EVERYONE has access to are the jobs that will break your robot, and your bank.

It’s clear that advertising has a lot of power to influence people’s choices, otherwise oligarchs wouldn’t burn so much money on it.
Marketing, advertising, etc. It's a science, a field of study. What is the goal? To make people buy things, ostensibly. How do they chose to do achieve that goal? Deep analysis of the human psyche and studying methods to manipulate them into taking intended actions.
Advertising is the science of psychological warfare.

I still chose to blame the republicans.
No one ever just blames them directly in these conversations. It's always "blame the protest non-voters" or "blame the leftists" or whatever.

Democrats have made the current apparati too hard to qualify for with their means-testing.
I kind of doubt that democrats are the ones who MADE it too hard, but they definitely are the ones that preserve it's difficulty.
It's a downside of being educated and fascinated by what you've learned.
