Capitalism says let people do what they want. If one guy undercuts all the others and says he's ready to do it on his own for cheap, let him, he's probably better at it anyway. This lets the other 9 figure out what they want to do, maybe launch a startup or whatever, there's no shortage of things that need fixing on this planet.

Capitalism lets people with money do what they want, and lets people without do what their masters want.

Also, "Yeah everybody that gets replaced by a machine can just found a startup" is probably the most irrealistic and oblivious thing I've read all week.
