where will they get the profits without customers though? If all companies got what they wanted and replaced employees with robots, people wouldnt have jobs and couldnt afford to buy anything. Do the rich have endgame for that scenario?
Can’t see them caring to use humans as slaves either, why bother when they got robots already.
you don’t need profits anymore when you have robotic slaves. you need profits to pay people to do the work you want to be done for you. if you have robots doing everything to keep a large estate running for you with all necessities and complete automation, what do you need more humans or profit for? If you need a door replaced you send a robot to make a new one, you don’t need a complete carpentry industry.
That’s a problem for another quarter, their priorities are profits NOW.
They don’t need an end game; let’s say everything you described as come to pass; they and their families will be on their islands and in underground bunkers with their piles of riches to recline upon (like a dragon), and we will be up top eating each other.
That’s their worst case scenario and they are fine with it, their robots will serve them for all eternity.
CEOs and owners hate payroll, it’s their biggest “expense” and many would eliminate all employees the second they are able to.
The board would be very happy to have that expense removed; a perfect capitalist company needs no employees, just robots.
At least we’ll get to see the CEOs bitch, they’re quite an expense on their own and will also be replaced.

You set up debt plans to enslave people through credit on daily necessities.

They never think beyond 5 year plans, then they cash out onto a yacht.
