    Salaried wages don’t make sense for a whole lot of positions tho - like you’d have 0 manufacturing employees.

      “machines can make all the food and stuff”

      Don’t see any reason why we couldn’t have maintainence and repair robots as well, so what manufacturing employees?

        AI can beat replace repeatable behaviors. There will always be someone on-site to address outlier situations.
