Well, I guess the crux of the matter then is how advanced their technology really is. I don't think that the level of automation that you can see at Amazon or in China is indicative of what they have. After all, even back in the 60s the SRI had already developed fully automated robots capable of computer vision and autonomous movement (e.g. Shakey). But that's speculation on my part, it's hard to guess at what level their technology really is.

You're wrong about nukes having an adverse effect on the labor market. Historically, after big wars and catastrophes, there has always been a period of intense economic growth. In Germany, after WWII, there was the Wirtschaftswunder (lit. economic miracle). In Italy, the Boom Economico (lit. economic boom). And Japan, which was nuked twice at the end of WWII, quickly become one of the richest nations on the planet, up until the Lost Decade in the 90s.

You're right: money is not wealth. But my point still stands: what wealth do you possess that the multi-trillionaire banking families crave so much? Your plasma TV? Your Nintendo Switch? Your car? Your home? Your collection of vintage vinyls from the 70s?

No matter how you look at it, there is simply nothing of value that me, you or 99% human beings can provide to them. Sure, maybe they still need a few hundred thousands of us because maybe they still haven't fully automated everything, but for how long is that going to be true?
