You’ve got to be a troll…. This is completely obvious, but in the rare case you’re really not trolling:

Thing 1:

we could hire more nurses with the time and money savings of A.I.

Thing 2:

instead let's just fire them and make more money.

Question:

Doesn't this kind of prove that the nursing shortage is manufactured?

Answer: (no), those two things are not mutually exclusive.
