Capitalism is in a permanent prisoners dilemma.

Overall they need to treat their employees well so that there's growth in the economy, since no one to buy things means no market to sell things. However, they can also choose to screw over their employees with bad pay, terrible conditions, or in this case, automating their workforce and firing people.

If no one screws their employees, the economy expands with modest growth.

If one or few corporations screw their workers while everyone else doesn't, they become fabulously rich and the rest get outcompeted.

If everyone screws their workers, then the economy collapses because there's no growth, and everyone eventually goes out of business.

Am I so ruined by current events that genuine hope sounds like sarcasm?

I hope it helps too.

Can't tell if this is damning with faint praise, or just an incredible self own

Unfortunately? It's a good thing they're letting everyone else know how inept they are. The only better thing would be for them to, ya know, not be conservatives.
