That’s true. The only downside is that with fewer and fewer people working in productive industries, the customer base for those things produced with automation gets smaller and smaller.
The end result is that you end up with the government subsidizing non-productive citizens just so they can buy the things produced by the productive ones. This is exactly where we are in 2024.
