    Thats not possible because the poor CEOs need to buy their 4th superyacht to accompany the others at the cost of the planet, its people and animals.

    Or, we could just fire 75% of the workforce and make the remains work 60 hours a week.

    I’m sure the CEOs do intend to have a 4 day work week at most after they’ve layed off all the engineers.

    Oh no, but that might mean the more consumers spend their money in the economy for their free time, which is what the service industry now adopting AI is complaining is increasingly absent! Whatever shall we do!

    TrumpUSA doesn’t want a rich economy, they want a serfdom with high socioeconomic inquality that the new ultranationalist oligarchy can exploit for their nationalist interests while they push out the industries they ordinarily would not be able to compete against.
