    It’s literally the only way for capitalism to keep going…

    When there’s not enough jobs to earn money for resources shit hits the fan.

    To compensate for technological advances the standard work week needs to shrink while wages at least stay the same. That way there’s more jobs.

    It’s literally the whole point of the Luddite movement when the auto look showed up.

      But what if our oligarchs just let 40% of us die, instead? Do they even notice a difference? They probably make more money.
