I tend to agree with this thought. Since covid I buy substantially less clothes as an example. But that might just be me getting older as well.

A second thought popped up for me.. if that happened, be careful the rich don’t flood the market with AI to take the place of humans not willing to work.. I can see things going in a bad direction if not controlled!

I think it would be interesting to see what the affects of that would be. Big businesses will have not only less people willing to work but in addition the demand will drop therefore cutting profit which will reduce the amount of workers needed. That simple type of change of living would dramatically alter the world as we know it.. I’m sure there’s a lot more it would change but that was just 1 simple talking point.
