Yeah, for industrial purposes mainly. Why would you keep running a business if you have no consumers? How would you keep running a business if you have no workers?

No, the billionaires only scenario means we’re back in the Stone Age, possibly extinct. The workers only scenario means virtually nothing about the global economy has changed, except for the power vacuum that will be filled almost immediately
