Jobs that don't pay a living wage should not exist. Imagine if our ancestors had accepted spending 200 calories to hunter/gather 100 calories worth of food. Low wage jobs are a trap that send people deeper into poverty.

Also, putting all people out of work forever should be the ultimate goal - automate all the things!
