I doubt that's sustainable, especially given that you have people like 'starving artists', 'starving writers', and of course game programmers who throw themselves at projects working eighty hours per week.
Anything that people likes to do tended to be oversupplied.
- shams93 10y agoThat's so right, if you look at income numbers for SAG its scary, starving artists is right!
- chris_va 10y agoAt the moment. In a world with no demand for labor, there is an implication that the cost of goods would be dominated only by supply scarcity. For commodity goods, they would essentially be free. 200 years ago a real shirt would cost you ~$2000 in today's currency (land -> sheep -> farmers -> spinsters -> dyers -> weavers -> tailors). Now a decent shirt costs $40. Eventually artsists won't starve, even with minimal income. Ideally, hopefully.
