That's why I had to modify my former strict libertarian views and why right wingers need to modify their total opposition to any form of welfare when AI destroys the link between human toil and wealth production that has existed since the species evolved. Any other position is just not tenable  because billions of unemployed and unemployable people are going to refuse to starve to death without making a fuss.

Of course part of that link was already broken by the industrial revolution, which greatly reduced the manual labor that went into food production, clothing, transportation,...  Instead of government welfare we created middle management and accountants.
