Automation. Pay for materials to be delivered to a factory, automated processes deliver it, factory makes X and packages it, automation delivers to your door.

Not all the way there, but surprisingly close.
Let's face it: labor is soon to be obsolete. All economic models that include labor will become antique notions, similar to factoring in horsepower.
Gonna be a rough road: all folks in power can think of is, how to keep workers slaving away at something, anything, so long as they don't revolt.
- tehjoker 3y agoThe US is a consumer paradise service economy because capitalists shifted manufacturing outside of the US. It's still happening all over the world. We are sitting in the imperial core and our lifestyle is a non-replicable model that is struggling to service 4% of the world, maybe more if you include Europe. People in the US have consumer items, pointless dictatorial jobs, and insane stress from having the welfare state stripped for parts by venture capitalists. We aren't even enjoying what we have even though materially, a good fraction of the population have more than so many others. If you lose your pointless job, you lose your home, healthcare, and transportation and are considered a surplus person. These are all political choices.
