#scifi idea...
Someone makes a "replicator" [star trek not star gate] and one key thing it can make is another of itself.
Set up to make food, drink, clothes, medications, soap and stuff. With some security (prescription drugs if you show a prescription, alcohol if you show an ID, all good).
How quickly would it spread (replicates itself).
How quickly would all fast food, supermarkets, restaurants, all see sales go to zero, and go bankrupt.
Would any governments dare to try (LOL) to ban it?
@revk Replicators are not service industries, so full service restaurants may well be safe, along with other concierge services, tailors (someone has to measure you for your clothes), and so on.
Also, what are its energy and feedstock inputs, and what pollution (if any) does it produce? How large is it? These are all important issues ...
