    Humans are the most overabundant resource on the planet…if capitalism actually functioned, the system wouldn’t incentivize creating more.

    But the current economic system isn’t even true capitalism…it’s optimized wage enslavement paired with a caste system. Keeping labor pools well stocked depresses the value of replacing individual units…all they’re figuring out now is how best to trim maintenance costs.
