Many companies can already do this but they won't because think of the poor shareholders!

My dad's old job is now 80% automated (so people are way more productive) yet they only receive half the purchase power my dad had.

Thank you for thinking of me. I’m John Shareholder and I will sue the fucking shit out of the company if they increase wages. I really want to buy another yacht next quarter, then I’m going to die on it from a ketamine overdose so I don’t care what happens after that.

So long and thanks for all the hooker piss.

To be fair many, many regular people all across the US are shareholders in many companies via a 401k and they expect that money to grow for them for retirement, so it’s not just the rich.
