When the demand for higher salaries started pressing their bottom line, the bottom line won. They were replaced by machines.

Unfortunately all those unmotivated, unproductive individuals won anyway....somehow we just decided we (us - Joe Schmo taxpayer) needed to pay them $15hr to stay home and continue with all the antics you described above so they could feel some "self worth".
