> If I replace one staff member out of two with a machine that does half their work for them, that doesn't mean the other staff member gets a doubled salary.
So who keeps the surplus amount? It has to go somewhere, why not to the group that increased their productivity?
If the group bought the machine out of their own money then they would automatically keep the surplus in the form of less work. If the company bought it, then the company gets the saving, and it can choose what to do with that saving.
