This question resolves to YES if during at least one of the main (non-VP) 2028 general presidential election debates in the United States, the moderator asks at least two separate questions directly related to robot workers, such as the potential for job losses due to them. This question also resolves to YES if Robot are otherwise brought up by a candidate in the context of a question unrelated to them and ALL candidates talk about ribots at least once during the same debate, with at least one of the candidates saying "robotics", ""robots" or a close synonym at least three separate times, at least five seconds apart, during the same debate. Otherwise, this question resolves to NO.

Asking "at least two separate questions" means that the moderator must pose two semantically distinct and individual queries, each intended to elicit a unique response, specifically about robots. In other words, simply repeating the same question doesn't count as two separate questions, even if the question is asked twice, first to one candidate, and then a second time to the other candidate. Moreover, asking two distinct questions without waiting for the answer to the first one counts as two separate questions for the purpose of this question. For example, a clear positive instance would be asking first, "How do you plan to manage the job losses from robots?" and then later asking, "What are your proposals to mitigate American labor union shrinkage due to robots?" These are two separate questions because they cover different facets of robots—existential risk and employment. A clear negative example would be if the moderator simply asked, "How do you plan to manage the job losses from robots?" to one candidate, and then later said "Same question to you" to the other candidate. Even though the question is asked twice, it's not considered two "separate" questions because it's a repetition of the same query.

When it comes to questions related to automation and job losses, the key factor that determines whether the question is "directly related to robots" is whether the moderator mentions robot technology or companies.

If there are no 2028 general presidential election debates, this question resolves to N/A.
