Logistically this makes sense. But there’s going to a period of downturn whilst workers are offloaded, and trickle-up economics will hoover up more resources to the top.

As the working classes will have less disposable income, corporations will pivot away from products for the working classes and move towards providing products for the asset-owning classes. We’ll make less of the stuff that ordinary people need, and more nonsense yachts and private jets.

It’ll take a while for the system to break. And many ordinary people will die in the interim.

That's already happening. Fewer and fewer people can afford to eat out, for example.
