So when a significant portion of the population has no work because they have been replaced by machines, who will buy what the machines make (or do)?

Seems like a short sighted race to extinction.

Not everything that can be done should be done.

Footnote:in the long run if society survives the initial shock, I predict it will actually lead to a resurgence in artisanal crafts to manufacture bespoke items that are prized not because they are perfect or the best, but because they are unique and have a back story.
