This would be hilarious if it weren't actually kind of pitiful.

I'm not making any assumptions here. You are the one who is insisting that the world does not need manual labor in order to maintain GNP. That wealthy people could continue to live the way they do with no help from anyone else. Computers and robots can do it all.

If you think you live in a world where you can maintain your wealth without ANY outside help at all, and that we really don't need all those people who build the cars we drive, or build the houses we live in, then you are believing in something that is just as ludicrous as believing the world is flat. I believe the world is round, and I believe that we need the worker bees in order to sustain the wealth. Some of us get to reap the benefits of that wealth. Those that would do so, and then attribute NONE of it to the infrastructure that is maintained by manual and other labor, are in complete and total denial.
