    Wages for workers are the biggest line item for most companies. Owners hates it because that money is theirs, by golly. The concept of being part of an economy never enters their stream of consciousness, only the desire to optimize sucking money out of it.

      Right? Pretty interesting that perhaps one of the easiest jobs to replace is never mentioned by them.

      Talking about replacing fucking engineers with unaccountable black boxes before even mentioning CEOs.

      What a fucking joke.
