This is the underlying message of all this Billionaire giddiness: they can't wait for AI to replace as many of these disgusting human workers as possible.
They would replace every single one of us, if they could, and this administration will HELP them. If we end up with a 50% unemployment rate, they'll just criminalize debt and unemployment, and put you in a work camp to be leased out as a Federal 13th Amendment Slave. They'll probably even shorten it, and call them 13s.
Of course, as 13s become common, even more paid jobs will be lost, and eventually most jobs will be done by AI, automation, or slaves, with a few humans in maintenance, software, development, and supervisory positions. The board room will remain all human, of course, even though they'd be the easiest to replace with AI.
