By "race to the bottom" do you mean "the bottom slice of humanity is experiencing rapid growth in income"?

The need for a radical solution lies in the far future. I know large numbers of educated professionals who clean their own homes but would be happy to pay $10-15/hour to have this problem solved. (I pay well over $15/hour, and need to turn to overseas folks for virtual labor.) Talking about the problem of human labor being obsolete during a time of labor scarcity is like worrying about mars being overpopulated.
