    They will buy your RAM, your electricity, your oil, your crops will be used for biomass energy etc.

    So not literally beer, pizza or airline tickets, but the wheat that goes into your beer and pizza can be used for biomass energy to power data centers that (each!) already use up more energy than entire cities. And the airplane will transport RAM and computer chips instead of people.

    This will cause the price of the things you mentioned to go up, causing people to buy less and less of them. The economy will adapt to whoever pays most. A mere 30 years ago our economy wasn’t adapted to the internet at all, and just look at us now…
