alt Hacker NewsThe "problems that come up" will be people homeless and starving.
I'm 100% with stego-tech that I think we should address the major, glaring concerns that come with greater automation before that happens.

People starving en masse because there was no work to do anymore and no way to get paid, despite there being plentiful food, is something that has never happened. If the amount of money on the consumer side of the food economy were to shrink significantly, what should happen is that the price of food should also go down until people can buy food again. The stock has to move no matter what, otherwise it spoils.
