So...with all this technology, robots, machines...ex.self checkaut or online shopping drone delivery..etc for the future world economy, only 20% of

Current population is probably enough as human capital. The rest will be a waste and not needed?

The idea of human capital is flawed.

@Wentfulltard not talking about the IDEA itself. The whole system is flawed. But looking realistically..machines are doing all the work, by " human capital" I meant the HUMAN part or the human power services that are needed. In this machine age ..all the human workers aren't needed. They become an expense ( waste)
@SW-User You're right. But that works in an ideal capitalist system. It'll be a long time for machines to become cheaper than manual labor.

@Wentfulltard the machines will keep the world economy functioning just fine with 20% of current population. The rest 80% becomes useless expense...to be ridded of??
@SW-User This took an unexpected turn.
SW-User
@Wentfulltard they are already cheaper..no benefits packages, paid vacations, paid days off , they work 24/7 none stop, no sick days, no med.insurance, no unemployment, no pension, etc. Only maintenance
SW-User
@Wentfulltard that looks like future reality regardless
@SW-User Yeah. Unfortunately it does.
SW-User
@Wentfulltard well...what to do with all the people that are no longer needed for the work they used to perform?? Which turn do you think it will take. Dont you throw away things you don't need anymore that serve no purpose
@SW-User UBI is a strong argument for this.
