Which proves that we turned the labor force into worthless cogs while the demand for leaders (the decision makers) became more valuable. We handed a share of the wages to robots, but required more competent CEO's to juggle the increasingly faster paced, global, market.
The market did exactly what we expected it to do. Trying to manipulate the system creates predictable (and intentional) adjustments. IE; if you hand out welfare checks, companies can pay their employees less because more people are willing to accept the job as a supplement.
