Not if I have anything to do it! Luckily not everyone is a defeatist.
First principles analysis shows there is plenty of valuable work to be done, and not nearly enough people to do it all.
Unemployment is a phenomenon fabricated by the ruling class for social control. As long as people are afraid of becoming unemployed, they'll stay in an exploitive job.
It's not as if there is some kind of fundamental limit on productivity. We've been trying to finish the work for a thousand years, and yet each year we keep finding more!
