Ahahhaha wtf? Whilst automation may have increased production, choosing what is done w the profits and whether or not it's distributed equally throughout society is wholly a human choice and not the machines.<p>Lol ideology is the sole cause. What caused the ideology to come into play may be a driver but it's not the cause. The choices made by the bosses and owners and company boards has been the sole cause and is wholly responsible for income inequality. They could have everytime a machine replaced someone retrained that individual for something else. They could have distributed the wages more fairly down the ranks of the businesses employees but they sure as shit did not.<p>Article reads like a joke by someone failing to place the blame on machines that squarely lies on humans. It'd make me laugh if it wasn't so wrong and if the repercussions of it haven't been so damning for the global community (it's 2023 and we still have people globally going hungry, without healthcare, without food, without shelter and living perpetually in fear and in slavery). What a monumental failure of humans, all because we turn a blind eye to the greed of individuals.
