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