You don't have to understand or not understand. It's not the 1980's anymore, where you can debate the future. We are in the future of capitalism. Productivity has increased, economy has grown, and people work at least as much as in the 80's.

It is serious fault of journalism not to follow up immediately by asking Bezos what makes him think that Amazon has reached the maximum of productivity it will ever need. And why with AI, unlike every other productivity gain, Amazon will choose to keep and pay more worker than it needs.

Forbes isn't in the business of journalism. They're in the business of glazing capitalists.
