And what does it matter? If technology manages to solve scarcity people won't have to do any chores any more. If it doesn't we'll cope or die off. Either way being a luddite apologist doesn't really help anyone.

I asked. "Earn?" Linda asked back. "No no no..." said Cynthia. "Do you give me a job? The reason I am here is because I have no job," I said. "No. You see, it's all free. By being a shareholder, you already own your share of the resources. The robots make products from the free resources you and everyone else already owns. There is no forced labor like there is in America. You do what you want, and you get 1,000 credits per week. We are all on an endless vacation."
