There will still be consumers, but it will be 1%'s creating products for other 1%'s to consume. Everyone else will have to form a black market economy where people toil for scraps. In the end, it will probably create a huge underclass, and potentially a class war.

It's really in the best interest for big businesses to eventually subsidize universal income. The government might need to facilitate it through taxes.
