No, demand is unlimited and defined by the amount of production.

I mean, generally replaced worker with the instruments - is the main way to business (and society) to thrive. In other words, what goods and services will became less affordable to the blue collar workers?

Enough of your trolling, go waste someone else's time.
You think so? Give me the contents of your checking, savings, and retirement accounts and then get back to me on that.

You appear to be confused about the concept of consumers, let me help. Consumers are the people who buy things. When there are fewer consumers in a market, demand for products and services declines. This means less sales. So no, you don't get to unemploy big chunks of the population and expect business to continue thriving.
