Sure he would, he probably just means they will no longer need two full time incomes. Greatness awaits America in a future when only one adult from a household has to work full time.
Sure the other adult and some fraction of the (?/5+)* children that federal and state policies ensure they're forced to give birth to, may need to take on some form of employment to keep food on the table or meet their state's medicaid and/or food stamp work requirements.
But when that inevitably happens, they always have the freedom of picking up a few shifts at one of Daddy Bezo's local warehouses,** guaranteed to be located in an American hellscape near you, and sandwiched conveniently between your local data center and ~~concentration camp~~ detention center.
If you're from a really bougie area, you might just have a hospital across the street from your Amazon warehouse full of doctors trained at Wal-Mart's new medicals schools (bc America thrives on competition 🙃), who will rely on AI for patient diagnosis instead of wasting time and money on all those unnecessary lab workups.
Yep. With the system working as intended and the Oligarchy steering us towards greatness, how could America be anything other?
(*Unknown/variable number will actually survive past early childhood in a country hell bent on bringing back so many preventable diseases. On the bright side, no more public education = no more schools = no more "germ factories." Unless you're counting the actual factories where American children will work instead of going to school.)
(**As long as it leaves them just below 40 hrs a week and unable to qualify for health insurance through their employer.)
