So that's like 8 years of "we need warm bodies" against 10 years of no work and 8 years of it being not great but not awful out of the last 26 years, and the overlords are COMPLETELY bought in to paying any price to replace you with a robot going forward.

This is a very short paraphrase of exactly what I was just reading in Capital about the English cotton trade, lol
