This is why I look forward to the day machines take over millions of peoples jobs. Yes there will be a hard transition but if there are millions of people without the funds to add to the machine how can the machine continue?
It is a senseless waste of time having a human stand in front of a hot pot of oil dipping fries and moving them over to a customer. I look forward to the day humans move beyond that. When so many people don’t have jobs that the ones that are left we decide are better off split up to everyone so we all work only 3 maybe 4 hours a day and then move on to passions we have. Spend more time with our children. Spend more time exploring the world. Maybe my belief is naïve having grown up watching Star Trek but I do think we will one day end capitalism for something else.

You only have to look at history to see how those "something else" alternatives tend to work out.

Identifying natural resources, extracting them, transforming them, improving the technology of all those steps, selling the results to the rich who own shares in any of those steps.
Even if it is all machines doing the work, there is an economic cycle that continues.
If the machine doesn't need people, by definition it is doing well without them.
