Economics Doesn't Care About Your Feelings

When cars were invented, they replaced carriage drivers. Not the lazy ones. The drivers. 

When spreadsheets arrived, they replaced bookkeepers. Not the careless ones. The bookkeepers.

You can draft the deck at 2 a.m. An algorithm can draft it in 20 seconds. 

The market doesn't give a shit about how hard you worked to get here. The market only cares about efficiency.
