FWIW, I don't believe we're going to have 60% unemployment in the future due to automation (or any other factor), but I do think that unemployment, underemployment, and plain old poverty wages are a real problem now.

My living quarters could use a good sweeping, but I ain't doing it, and I ain't paying anyone to do it, even though I could easily afford it.

I guess I'm an armchair internet expert, but I don't see how a theoretical 60% unemployment or the 10-30% under-employment/poor compensation we have now means there's no work to do.
