This is not so terribly far from the truth.
A producer will keep producing no matter the obstacles. The current political climate be damned they will get through it. A hard worker or motivated worker has that ingrained in them.
Whereas a non-producer (by choice, not current unemployment) has nothing but the power of government programs.
Perhaps we have three:
The robot owners (share of growing economic pie = growing; share of contribution to productivity growth = small)
The servicers of robots and robot owners (share of growing economic pie = stagnant; share of contribution to productivity growth = large)
The economically irrelevant (share of growing economic pie = falling; share of contribution to productivity growth = N/A)
The robot owners (share of growing economic pie = growing; share of contribution to productivity growth = small)
The servicers of robots and robot owners (share of growing economic pie = stagnant; share of contribution to productivity growth = large)
The economically irrelevant (share of growing economic pie = falling; share of contribution to productivity growth = N/A)
