      The benefits of cost cutting measures without appropriate investment is because theyre shooting for the buck, not true success. Also you can now be sold v2.

        Right, it doesn’t matter if automation is less productive if it’s cheaper. Sure, the robots keep causing damage, but they don’t ask for wages or sue when they get hurt rso that’s an acceptable cost of business.
