I rarely engage but you misunderstood my comment so much i felt compelled. I just mean that once everything is automated and there are no jobs left, there will be no reason for the ruling/owner class to keep the peasant/working class around at all. What self-respecting oligarch wants to mar their view with the smelly, shambling masses when they can have an uncomplaining robot butler bring them anything they want?
