Maybe the central problem is racing to put other people out of work period, regardless of who they are. Maybe putting people out of work is not a net benefit for society, it’s actually negative in the long run, and only truly a benefit for shareholders. They don’t need any more of those at the expense of the working class.

It should be a net benefit for society. Any system in which it isn’t is a very flawed system. Like most of the world right now.

Ideally, nobody should have to work.

The problem is that labor-saving technology is never permitted to save labor. We make those displaced laborers go do other shit.
