Then again, if one machine does the work which used to be done by twenty people, one guy maintaining it is probably not going to make that much of a difference.

The way I see it, the solution will be:

- dystopian police state full of poor and broken people and a few rich overlords, or - basic income for a significant portion of the population, with additional rights of ressource consumption earned through work or - a significant reduction of the population.

I do have a clear favorite. The other two are the reason I tend to get nervous when I learn about things like the militarization of police, total surveillance or all the recent sabre rattling.
