Quote-Didn’t Musk say recently that in 10 to 20 years, people won’t have to work? Everyone laughed.___

Who will provide the income to pay the utility bills etc plus maintenance of a wide range of infrastructure....?
Who will grow food and tend farms?
Just curious___

“Who will grow food and tend farms?”

This last fall I saw a machine pruning grape vines...perfectly. And another behind it picking up all the trimmings.

Drove by one day and it was busily working. Drove by two days later and it was all done.

640 acres.

It would take a hundred Mexicans a couple of weeks. And it would not be perfect.

Besides, robots don’t need food, reducing demand considerably:)
