They can find some other way to be useful to society.

If they love those jobs so much, they can do them for free.

We shouldn't stifle technological process and keep jobs people don't want to do around so the people currently doing them don't have to adapt.

Israel? The nation that "secretly" detonated a nuclear bomb without any repercussions after the ban?

Israel? The nation that has a plan to nuke as many people as possible if their "promised land" is threatened?

No, not that Israel. There's no way.

This is an interesting point to bring up and bears addressing.

See, the problem with "things being too expensive" is that it's a vicious cycle. Rent is too expensive, which means renters need more money in order to pay their abusive landlords. How do they get that money? Well, they charge more for whatever product/service they provide. Now that's too expensive.

Something has to give, somewhere, and the first place I'd suggest looking is taxing the ownership class into oblivion.
