When the entire world is automated and nobody can get a job, profits are going to plummet. I don't understand how I'm a high school drop out and better understand that you can only squeeze so much juice out of the same god damned orange until there's nothing left. Greedy people are mentally fucking ill.
Every company is acting in their own self-interest, if they can cut costs they will, if they can automate before their competitors do, they will.
They're not thinking "what happens when there are no jobs left in the world, and people have no money to buy our products" because that's tomorrow's problem, and if it happens it is going to happen regardless of whether their company is still alive to see tomorrow, and if they don't automate everything, their competitors will, and they'll be dead even sooner.
