similar to your ideas we would reach full employment when we get rid of ALL machines we are using (because each of them is replacing a worker)

the point is that every product will be THAT expensive at the end that normal people would have to decide if they want one car or 5 bicycles in their entire working life.

your idea is SO TERRIBLY UNLOGIK that i still hope you see your thinking mistake.
Not correct and your way of looking at things is so simple.

Purchasing power was the way to create good Western economies when things were made by people in the West. Now they are made by Third Worlders who can't afford to buy what they're making or by machines.

Do you see anyone trying to stop that? No, so your next point s wrong.

I want people in the West to be paid more so they pay more in taxes. https://www.ft.com/content/83e7e87e-...8-3700c5664d30 and https://www.theguardian.com/money/20...eague-tuc-oecd Proves me right and you wrong.

The next point is you going to an extreme which will never happen. So BS.

Can you be more wrong?
