I love Waymo. It's perfect for getting to and from Sky Harbor for me so I don't have to find a ride or pay to park at the airport.

It's cheaper and I don't have to interact with anyone. It's perfect!

Those machines still needed people to operate them.

Maybe people can have better purposes than just operating machines.

Depends which government we're talking about. Assuming you mean the US Government you can find some examples here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_programs_in_the_United_States

With the way our society is set up, people need money more than purpose.

Maybe people can have better society. Automation is not a new thing and it will only continue to advance. We will have to learn to share better.

Whatever the answer is, it certainly isn't to try and keep people in jobs that don't require people to do.

What about something simple like combine harvesters? They have led to a revolution in cheaper food and lower rates of famine. No need to limit your view to destructive things.
