That's another problem with capitalism that I've hinted for years. It requires worker capital (aka human labor) and at minimum cost. For instance, see that Munger quote above. There was a time not too many decades ago when science fiction offered us utopian visions where daily labor was simply not required in its current form. Think: Star Trek or Orville economy. If we eliminated planned obsolescence in our products, then there really is very little that we need to produce from material resources on a daily basis. Capitalism has poisoned that ideal to convince people that it would be actively harmful to implement something like universal basic income, so the few things actually requiring labor could be offered (wages) at a premium, and everyone else got to pursue things that human animals ought to spend their time pursuing. You know... happiness. I say, bring on technological unemployment for everyone. Let's finally live the dream. But I'm a known radical. ;)
