Spot-on...even Henry Ford, the ruthless tyrant that he was, realized that if his employees had a job & were paid a decent wage with (at least) 'some' margin of disposable income, they would be able to afford a Ford too. The same rings-true thru-out the entire domestic workforce & the sooner the powers-that-be realize this, the sooner they'll understand that unless they correct this inequity soon, there won't be anybody left that can afford to buy.....'anything', especially big-ticket items. The path we're on now is a dead-end street & last I heard, Ai can't be considered a 'consumer' & you can't sell a robot much of anything ;(
