To date, I have not heard a single CEO talk about where the money will come from if no one is employed.
How can consumers consume if they don't have any money?
Because these drug and AI addled idiots refuse to or can't think more than a quarter ahead at a time. As there are no consequences for the executive caste, why should they?
That's what the rich dickhead bunkers in remote locations are for, my friend.
Apparently long as bots are buying from them they care. The goal is keep the stock in green Apparently they don't need consumers for that.
Time to slack off and deliver the minimum possible then
That's exactly what people should be doing anytime their company boasts about record profits/revenue yet halts pay raises or even has it lower than the rate of inflation.

There are lots of companies that offer stock as well as monetary compensation, and things like profit sharing.
Quiet quit, show up a bit late, stretch your breaks by a few minutes, leave early, steal stuff, don't do anything that doesn't directly contribute to your job, volunteer for nothing, refuse to tithe to whatever their stupid charity is, max out every benefit, max out any family leave, file official complaints to HR, break stuff, don't refill anything, do no maintenance on anything, umionize, etc.

Teradata, a global cloud software company, told its 5,100 employees in January not to expect an annual salary raise this year as it reallocate the budget toward AI investments, according to an internal memo seen by Business Insider and not previously reported.
How much of a raise will the CEO get?
CEO later added: the exec team is still getting a raise though.
Teradata's focus for 2026 is to "win in the market with AI," CEO Steve McMillan said in the memo
Oh boy... he is just chugging the AI kool-aid.
Well yeah, doing actual research or understanding a topic would cut into his golf time
