Capitalism doesn’t care if the work you would have been doing is now being done by a machine. If you’re automated out of a job, then you’re out on the street, you’re dying of starvation or exposure.

This is for the same reason that capitalism allows ANYONE to die on the street, whether or not their job got automated.
