“The trick works like this: Upper middle class women think bagging groceries is demeaning, so we give all grocery baggers their own bachelor’s degree, which is totally proven to make you upwardly mobile, especially when every single human has one. Then, noticing that it’s a bit depressing to see such a learned and noble people engaging in lowly menial work, we protect them by eliminating that very work. From there a small subset of former baggers, having completed a twelve-week coding bootcamp, ascend the corporate ladder of Computer Stuff, eventually founding the Boston Dynamics of self-checkout drones.”
