If automation made everyone jobless, who will buy the products robots produce??
The obvious answer is free income/money for everyone so people can still buy stuff even if they no longer have jobs even if they're doing absolutely nothing all day.
To avoid runaway inflation in this type of economy, everyone will have max quota of specific items they can buy - regardless of how much money they make or have.
It will be a generous quota unless you are addicted to food or shoes...You get my point.
Those who are addicted to food will be on a forced diet due to purchase quotas. It might end up being great for everyone. Obesity will be a thing of the past and people will be much healthier.
No free money for anyone. Every single person works for money. It's healthier for the mind. People in hospitals are bored stiff and need work too. One of my grandkids is autistic and unable to talk. BOY does this kid need a job to do. When he is idle he goes nuts. We all do.
