>Raising the wages of humans so they are the same cost as machines doesn't make the machines cheaper.

And again, that is where you are wrong.

Economies of scale. Building one machine is expensive. Building 10 is slightly cheaper. Building a thousand lowers the price. A million makes them a commodity.

I understand economics of scale. Amazon could order a million machines without raising workers wages.

Amazon doesn't control worker wages, for the most part.

If the politicians and employees were not complaining they would not have raised wages.
