> Don't take it personal. All business want to reduce costs. As long as people cost money, they'll want to reduce people.

"Don't take it personal" does not feed the starving and does not house the unhoused. An economic system that over-indexes on profit at the expense of the vast majority of its people will eventually fail. If capitalism can't evolve to better provide opportunities for people to live while the capital-owning class continues to capture a disproportionate share of created economic value, the system will eventually break.

While not an incorrect statement, trillions of dollars have been paid to software developers to build software that invariably reduced labor costs.
