this is why I believe capitalism is unsustainable.
when I talk about automation and labor, no one seems to get it. Hey, if your job gets automated, you get fired. Have you even considered that you could do less labor for the same pay because your work got automated? they just look at me like my head's been cut off.
Good news! Your workload has halved so you don't have to work in to the evening!
Bad news... that means I only need half my current workforce now to work in to the evening and so you're fired.
