If you're afraid of this, you've missed the boat on why work exists. The reason we have work in society is because we have tasks that need to be completed or we will all die without it. If there is no work that needs to be done, it isn't a travesty but a success.
It should be a success. But the odds that policy makers decide not to implement some sort of redistribution scheme is non-negligible.
That's true, but I wonder how they could make it stick. Masses of unemployable people would probably result in redistribution or revolution. Furthermore, is it really in the elites' best interest not to redistribute a little bit? Pensioning off the unemployed masses seems like a pretty cheap insurance policy.
