People die, population shrinks, mostly concentrated on those unable to pay the barrier to entry for care. Isn't it obvious? Those that have money will pool it to intermediate access to healthcare under the auspices of increasing access

Yes, but you see, that's all moot, because now, all those silly programmers we used to have to pay can be owned, don't have to be paid, can be spun up on demand, etc... As far as market forces are concerned, inferior process witho
