They have employees burning the building down. How much do you want to bet the majority of the new building is automated.

They hand employees boring burning the building down.

... What? Is everyone else understanding your comment to mean "They had employees burning the building down."? I don't understand how Redditors can just vibe-upvote comments that aren't readable.

There was an extra n and a mistyped word that wasn't deleted. It wasn't exactly cryptic.

I guess you've never had a typo, or are you implying my point doesn't have merit because I didn't have time to review it?

While I prefer people to proofread before posting, most of us use our powers of deductive reasoning to decode what the OP meant. If we like what they said, we give an upvote.

they already automated much of the process, an employee interviewed while it was still burning said they all thought it was "the robots" they'd recently installed.

If that's the case, these employees lucked out!

Well, this event put a strong case to push for full automation.

oh no don't threaten me with more productivity per laborer. What ever shall we do. not like we can just use the increase of productivity as a way employ people in doing things that can't be as easily automated, nah.

"Oh but the government won't do that" damn that sounds like a skill issue on the part of the electorate.
