yeah, no way "food will be handed out for free" when you can make a profit by selling it; they'd rather throw it away (as they do right now) than give it away for free
At some point you just have everything you need to survive automated. At that point there is no such thing as profit anymore aside from hookers. The only viable way I see someone hoarding it is because they see themselves as the new god because they were the first to automate the full chain. In that case they will claim humans are bad and try to police them like what we get with every single wingnut idiot these days.
