Makes me wonder. If we did have automated luxury communism, would people like me just not be satisfied and struggle to find new "problems"? Alexis De Toqueville described the "American Spirit" as one of "restiveness"... itching to change and move (FWIW I'm British but tarn with the same brush).

There's a funny line in "Analyse This" where Bully Crystal's character says innocently to Robert De Niro...

  "What are you going to do this summer?"

And the Mafioso gangster (De Niro) replies;

  "About What?!"
