How do we deal with the automation problem?

IMO Neo-liberalism + robots = dystopia.

You tell me what will happen with more and more automation, where do people work, where will their income come from.

@Pitchblue Those are the problems.
@Pitchblue Pretend there's a world where robots literally could do everything for us. Not a single job exists that needs humans. Money will no longer be a thing. People will have whatever they need. They could spend their time doing whatever they want. Finding the meaning to life, exploring the reaches of space, creating new art, researching new sciences. The world would be driven by people's desire to do, instead of their need for money.
@Qwerty14 The rich want to own the world, if money was not a thing how would they control the masses, they would either devise a plan to control them or they would kill them. Water will become the next valued commodity like oil and gold.
@Pitchblue Google; Who's buying all the water?
