This is actually something I've been thinking about recently. Once we've automated all of the "manual labour" jobs away in the name of efficiency or human safety, what do we do with the people who are only fit for manual labour?

Ethically, we're compelled to support these people. But does it make sense to maintain a population that contributes absolutely nothing? I imagine they'd start to get restless as well... I suppose we could always put them into giant hamster wheels to generate power.
