Yeah you're joking sure but anyway if they think of workers at all it's in the abstract, a productivity-to-cost-ratio-math problem. But business school only taught em how ta do them zero-sum "equations."

I’ve had the displeasure of overhearing some of rich people’s conversations. Behind closed doors they hate having to hire people at all and look forward to the days work just does itself.

When brought up what will happen to workers, well first in the short term its telling them to all learn trades, but their ideal future is everyone is their own business owner. I noticed for and more ads saying how it’ll be great for “your business”. Us yucky poors go and run businesses they don’t want to run like plumbing, HVAC, restaurants, etc while billionaire nepo babies can be busy having fun in Hollywood.

They kind of want communism, but of course on their terms. No classes exist because everyone is a capitalist.

It’s already happened but mark my words, propaganda that workers are the lazy mooches of society and people should start their own businesses is going to ramp up real fast soon.

I don’t understand what part of his question is a joke. It’s a pretty straightforward thought

I kinda phrased that poor. I meant more like:

"i get that you already know this so I'm not arguing/explaining but but i still wanna comment so [say their point but different]
