Let’s take one vertical that people clearly need: food.

Sure there’s non perishable food. But a lot of the food people eat is perishable. They have to keep buying it.

Who is going to source the food if no one pays money to buy it? How will they pay for the operations to get the food?

Now apply this reasoning to other verticals. In many fields, the investments lead to actual improvements in technology, and increasing automation and productivity.

If everyone sits at home that only works if nothing ever breaks and no one needs improvements and technology. We’d still be using gas lamps if no one built electric stations etc.
