Well in future where most jobs can be a replaced or minimized by machines, how do we support all those people who could lose their jobs?

Well, they're just going to have work even harder and be even more cost effective than automation obviously.

Universal income is the only way to solve this problem. Machines can either free us or doom us, the choice is ours.
Obviously we just have to give the billionaires some tax breaks.
Every person over 18 yo receives a robot, free of charge, paid for by the government. That robot will now work for the person and the person will be in charge of maintaining it. The robot can take any job it can do and the revenue will belong to the owner. Losing it for whatever reason, will not provide them with another, they are in charge of the robot they got.
The robot can be programmed an upgraded to perform more jobs but it will be on the expense of the owner.
That's the only solution even if the masses don't understand it right now.
Just wait for 20-30 years for IA to take over executives jobs and the bells will be different. Robotic labor has to be taxed. And this money redistributed to the masses so they may still be able consume.
Perpetuel destruction of jobs is not bad. But expecting peoples to ever find something else to do when what's left is shrinking is stupid.
I mean, technically robot workers could be outlawed, there's always that solution.
