Lol, he's simultaneously the opposite and personification of a wealthy businessman. Dude immigrated here from Pakistan and made his fortune designing and patenting his process. He LOVES being on site and will gladly take off his Armani jacket and work a spin closer lol. He honesty likes giving people jobs and opportunity and helping support the community.

They don't run up your medical insurance costs. They don't complain about sexual harassment and sue the company. They don't click on phishing emails and cryptolock your entire network. They don't make racist posts on twitter. They don't stage an insurrection at the capitol while wearing your company's badge. They don't need to be trained or given an office. Etc. The accidents and the insurance cost would more than make robots worth the money. Factories around here a very slow to update though. They are basically the same as they were when they were built in the 1950s. Would you risk your life in a coke plant to make $9 An hour? Or inhale dust for 10 hours a day and get lung disease at 45 for $9 an hour? It's really kind of ridiculous that they complain about not finding workers.

Well I just took around a look for the machines used to assemble cars. There's a lot of different ones that have different prices and all of them are necessary and prices seem to go from a few thousand to 50k per machine although the industry probably gets them wholesale so the real price is unknown but let's shoot for the moon here and say it takes $150k just to buy one of everything. My job pays nearly $2 million a year in medical insurance. If $150k machines saves me $200k in insurance for employees I don't have to hire then it's already paid itself off in 1 year. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:953547933] in American f...

PoundGarden 05/04/21 2:40:49 PM #143:	Questionmarktarius posted... That's just the math. I think you've got me confused with someone else. I'm not demanding that it's someone else's obligation to make my life be marginally better. Well, unless I'm misreading, you're proposing that instead of buying the Countach (which is not a $500k car btw) he should give everyone $5k...just because? All due respect, if you understood business, you'd know that random gifts/money for absolutely no reason actually decreases productivity by setting an expectation. Give them $5k for no reason, and 2 months from now, they'll be asking when you're going to randomly give them money for absolutely no reason again.

I challenge anyone who thinks factory jobs are low paying bullshit to take a good look at the parking lot next time they drive by one. Hell o a lot of nice/new cars in there... That means absolutely jack fucking shit. How nice your car is is a useless metric for how well you're doing financially considering they're almost always financed I've worked in and out of factories and retail in my early 20s and the fact is that the hours fucking suck, it's usually hot as shit during the summer, and while retail jobs aren't easy, now that they pay as much as most factories I'd never go back to working in one.
