    Yeah. So, they just go and plug buttons to get people their synthetic coffee day in… day out?

    Or put in enough effort to grow enough grapes for a sizeable wine label?

    And this ignores the dozens of menial tasks- repair techs, cleaners, security guards. “Retail” joints… strip joints.

    Yes people would go do some hobbies, but I doubt very much that there’s enough people interested in… industrial cleaning… to keep society running. And you really don’t want a part timer doing surgery or whatever

      Without fear of unemployment that sort of thing might be stint work vaguely similar to jury duty. In order to partake in the product of society you are expected to spend a year working 20 hours a week as a tech or whatever, if society needs it they will find a way to provide it without capital demanding a return on investment.

          Yeah this hypothetical society would have to choose between mopping floors and living in squalor. Hopefully the moppers won’t be coerced under threat of exposure or starvation.
