The unemployed hands get employment in the factories where the burger

If the machine lasts for 10 years and eliminates the equivalent of 2

Well, what will really happen is that those unemployed folks will find
jobs in *other* industries.

When the buggy whip manufacturers went out of business, you can bet most

accessories market.
