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.

And execs will get even bigger bonuses, share holders get more dividends! Everybody wins!

To reply to the now dead comment, yes it will be a shock to people who got used to lavish lifestyles, myself included. OTOH you wont need to rent in central SF anymore.
