Is the CEO coming down and using his exceptional value creating skills to run the ice cream machine and grills with their 8 arms?

The CEO had an idea so powerful that it turned lead into gold.

The workers are incidental, because you can always find someone to do manual labor at bargain basement prices.

It's just circular logic. "I'm worth it because I'm rich and I'm rich because I'm worth it." As soon as the labor surplus dries up, the CEO will go screeching to the government coffers for a bailout (or screeching to the police/DA's office for a new crop of press-ganged indentured servants). If you dispute any of it, the Libs just scream "Economically Illiterate!" at you.
