- lrvick 2y agoAll that matters are quarterly profits.
- SamoyedFurFluff 2y agoThe machines can buy the products. We already have HFT, which obviously has little to do with actual products people are buying or selling. Just number go up/down.
- singleshot_ 2y agoIf a machine buys a product from me and does not pay, whom should I sue? That is the person who actually made the purchase.
- impossiblefork 2y agoThe way it works in any country where workers can't afford to buy the products today, so I imagine as in those countries that function most like the stereotypical African developing country. So I imagine that the result would be that industry devolved into the manufacturing of luxury products, in the style of the top-class products of ancient Rome.
