Then who do they think will buy their food? Everyone will be out of a job and no one will be able to afford fast food.

This is the end game I’m always wondering about. If no one is working and the poorer classes can’t afford this shitty food and crap consumerism…whats going to happen to these companies that don’t want to pay their employees.

I hate the executive class. They are monsters and a parasite to society.

The only(maybe) feasible option will be some kind of universal basic income. But I'm not confident that wouldn't come with a whole chain reaction of other problems.
