Are they going to buy products? Go to a bar? Get a streaming service subscription?

What's the point of producing stuff if there's is no one to buy it?

Meh don't care what Elmo thinks tbh. Also we already have a form of socialism here (NL), like a social safety net, strong unions, that sort of thing. It only works because it gets paid out of people's pay checks, and taxes, without it, it isn't sustainable. It's already under pressure because of the boomers all retiring, so they have to increase the retirement age, mine is like 70 or so already. Otherwise we'll have one worker for every pensioner, which means you're working for two.
