It might be cynical but 3D printed construction eliminates jobs and thereby increases the share of newly created wealth to the one who owns the means of production, and that seems to be attractive these days, especially if the means or production are priced or regulated out of reach of most everyone.

I'm all for reducing jobs, tax the hell out of the owners of the means of production.

Hell yea, then distribute that money so people aren't bound to work and can pursue health, hobbies, relationships, self-improvement, take care of their children & parents, or whatever!
