Do you think that our economic system will still be viable even-though most jobs are being replaced by mechanical labor ? jobs are not being created, they are being liquidated by mechanization and policies can't really do much about that because most decisions in business and government are based around whether it makes a profit or not.

So if people can't get new jobs and most manual jobs have a machine version of a human laborer(yes even construction workers), people can't spend more money to fuel the economy, eventually it will tank,

perhaps governments will start paying people just for existing as a human right? i have heard they are beginning to act out these sorts of policies in Switzerland, i mean i don't see any other way for the economy to survive unless it's fueled by the consumer.
