The sad fact is that automation makes redundant much of the workforce and the majority of jobs these days, particularly in the public sector, are pointless except for providing another form of welfare that's (barely) worked for.
Hence the 6 hour work day seeming to make sense. It's just another straw on the back of the socialist camel, which might be reasonable if we weren't in competition with other nations that don't have such egalitarian ideals.
What we're seeing is not an abundance of pointless jobs. It's an abundance of pointless people.
The elites have a plan in place to solve this problem and it's not pretty. Personally, I don't have a humanitarian solution to automation making most humans redundant. Sometimes there are simply no good solutions.

The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.
