Sounds like a good idea to embrace new tech, then, instead of get eaten.

Cool, so we're back to "streamlining" and mass unemployment just in time to get eaten anyway.

Once more for emphasis: you do not have to cheer on the immiseration machine.

No, we’re not. Small businesses embracing technology to get more done with the same number of people is not “immiseration.”

And I take it from your use of Marxist terminology that you’re coming from that the perspective. 20th Century Marxists embraced technological advancement, and used that to advance the cause of the proletariat. The REAL immiseration is to embrace paleoconservative ludditism.
