When the population of living wage employed Americans has become the minority of the tax base, who is going to purchase the products?

Who is going to afford cars, insurance, fuel, maitenance?
Who will be able to drive to a grocery store? Oh wait, they will be delivered by robots, for those that can afford it.

Is that why there are Dollar Generals so close together across this country? So that people can walk to their low quality Company Store?

What is the domino effect of the mass unemployment for the competing companies for the US dollar to make their "quarterly reports" and satisfy their "stock holders" returns on investments?
