>How is it a problem? If they're less productive than robots in every way, why not just put them on welfare? Current economics handles this perfectly.

Does it really handle it perfectly? I assume perfectly handling it will mean those who do live on this welfare system have their basic needs met, is that the case in the current economy?

In most Western Countries it is. America seems to be an exception in terms of having relatively lower welfare payment rates.
