Economics will dictate that it isn’t cost effective to employee 100% robotic workforce as it will too greatly affect the purchasing power of said business’ customer base. Prices will have to drop in order to make those goods and services affordable to a population that has been replaced by robots. At the end of the day, will businesses invest heavily in robots when it will have the long term effect of driving down prices and gross revenue?

The concept of a “business” will be obsolete once resources and labor become free. Everything will be given to you and working for things will be obsolete.

It’s only a question of who decides who gets what and how much. Since there is no opportunity to work for things, it would be decided purely by lottery or old social ranking.

But if we are able to leave this planet and automatically colonize others without limits (or even create new planets), material things would become completely unlimited for ALL
