A papal encyclical is an unusual place to start an argument about workforce planning, which is exactly why it works. The spreadsheet does not have a column for what a person carries home, and the most efficient answer on the page is very often the wrong one in the room.
This is the piece that makes the clearest case for why any of this is a person's argument rather than a company's. Technology is never neutral. It takes on the character of the people who build it, finance it, and deploy it.
