Lets say there is an industrial machine that TCO is $50,000 per year to operate.
Lets say a human doing the same task, same quantity, and same outcome, for low pay only costs $20,000.
It would be crazy not to use humans. Trying to drop the cost of the machine is likely going to be very difficult because there will be no demand.
Now, give the humans a raise and insurance. Lets say that brings up the total human cost to $48,000. We'll, it is actually worth getting the machines now. Seems counter intuitive even when the machine is $2000 more. But it is almost granted the cost of the machines will drop now there is a mass market for them.
