[quote=Anonymous]Entirely predictable, and perfectly appropriate. Efficiency = productivity = increased profits, which is why businesses exist. They provide employment only incidentally and only insofar as employees are required for the business to operate. When employees become more expensive than alternatives, the alternatives will replace the employees. Employees can and do price themselves out of jobs when they demand wages which cost the employer more than alternatives. Employees who cannot be replaced by alternatives like AI or robots have job security. Employees who can be replaced by technology need to either become irreplaceable through the acquisition of irreplaceable skills, or by costing less than the replacement technologies. This has been true ever since the beginning of the industrial revolution, it's nothing new. [/quote]
