I actually don't want to work at a factory. I want robots to do that for me and I want the products to be cheap so I can buy cool stuff to do more interesting things.
Like I don't want to weld parts and stuff, I want to make lasers from those parts.
I don't want to melt glass. I want to use lenses to make images.
I don't want to dig for shit. I want to use that stuff to make rocket fuel.
We don't want factory jobs. We want technology jobs.
If you are clever enough for that creative work, why don't you use that creativity to make those jobs?
The uncomfortable problem is that manufacturing jobs dind't move to China for the cheap workers but for the cheap engineers and managers who run the factories.
Production won't come back because there are not enough clever people in the USA.
To be fair, this is what this government promised. The issue is that the voters just took it in
From age six until you drop dead. No schools required, whatever you need to do this job you will learn on the job.
For life? Someone is delusional.
Maybe for 5 years, at most. Humans need food. Humans need breaks. Automated assembly machines? 24/7 production, no annual leave, no insurance plans, and no unionizing.
The up-front cost is much higher, but it's cheaper in the long run. Good luck keeping that factory job long enough to have kids, let alone pass it down to them.
We'll, the article was about the jobs maintaining the robots, not humans building stuff in factories.
Well, that's on me for only reading the summary posted here.
He doesn't mean after they graduate high school, he means as soon as they can walk.
America was isolated from WW2 and joined at the end on their terms and for their benefit thanks to their location/geography. America will easily self-isolate and go full V for Vendetta (white [Germanic? Anglo Saxon? I feel like Germanic covers both] ethnonationalism, as usual) until it eventually balkanizes.
But Americans are honestly the dumbest people I've ever met, seeming almost challenged in their happy ignorance, so what can Americans by themselves do against their owners and through hardship? Israelis bomb Palestine through Ramadan and the communities still break their fast together in the rubble of their homes; Americans can't afford something they've been advertised but definitely don't need and will start selling drugs, their bodies (OF has made it easier than ever too!) and, finally, their souls. I can't see them doing anything besides murdering when they have the upper hand and assenting in fear when they don't, and I definitely don't see them getting together productively.
