We’re had the ability to make coffee with a machine for decades yet you still pay $5 for a barista made Java, I think we’ll be okay.

Which barista? The one that uses the machine to do 90% of the work, or the one that isn't a barista and uses the machine to do 100% of the work?
How do you know I don't have said machine at home?
And what bug bit you to make you think this is a good comparison anyway?
The one that uses the machine to do 90% of the work and is one of half a million employed to do so in the US alone[1]
It doesn’t matter what you’ve got at home; I can bet my left kidney you’ve paid a barista for a coffee once in your life even though you could have produced it yourself at home. I also bet my right kidney you’ll do so again in the future.

It’s baffling how you are trying to wilfully not understand what I’m saying and hiding your head in the sand.

The simple fact is that economy can’t be 100% services. Who is going to pay these baristas if nobody else earns anything?
Why would no one else earn anything?
