I have a black swan for you. Technology will at some point eliminate all blue collar jobs and eventually most engineering and technical jobs. What happens when there are no more jobs?
I don’t know how Capitalism survives when there is no underlying employment base.

A hundred years ago most of the engineering and technical jobs we have today DID NOT EXIST. Yet there were 'jobs'...
Jobs are people doing favors for each other - 'money' is the way we keep track of those 'favors' - the bookkeeping.
