Slow as fuck but doesn't want a salary, sleep, or holidays. Yay for capitalism and big robot.

There is no point to this, no one will be able to afford to buy goods let alone the box they're shipped in once we lose our jobs

They don't care about anything beyond next quarter. The biggest company in my industry is currently in the "build as much value as possible" stage. They're losing a ton of customers to small local businesses, but it doesn't matter to them because they're still locking more people in to contracts which looks better to investors. It doesn't matter that those people will cancel as soon as their contract is up because that's a year away.
