time to dust this off again, is it?

Car company CEO, after giving a visibly exasperated UAW boss a tour of his company's brand new 100% automated factory:
"So Bob, looks like you have quite the dilemma: how will you get your workers to outperform my new robots? They are cheaper, mistake-free, disposable, replaceable, and can never go on strike, let alone vacation."
UAW boss: "I don't know, Henry. But if you think about it, that problem is fundamentally yours, not mine."
"Oh, how so?"
"How will you get these robots to buy your cars?"
