But wait, that means there 8 unemployed people without money to spend on our business...

Oh I know! Get the government to give everyone money! Just not so much money that they can compete with us!

This but un-ironically! Politically it is hard ti support UBI. But print a $10k stipend for every person because the economy is tanking is obviously palatable. It is always seen as fine if you fix a problem in retrospect and without a tax rise. Money will eventually be like Robux.
