A lot of that has already happened. Ford & Stellantis produce a lot of trucks in Mexico.
*I see a day when little, if anything is made here anymore.
Unions wages and gov’t regulations, along with corp taxes make the USA non-competitive in mass level production.
* AI and mass advanced robotics might change that.
Of course it has. I’m talking about robotics on a scale like we have never seen and AI being used to calculate production & business models that humans can’tAi is more about stock price and not actual technology.
Robots and automation have been here.
Looks like local Postal Carriers may strike... first it was UPS and then Nurses and now it could even be mail carriers but not for money.
Letter Carriers nationwide are facing unprecedented increase in robberies and assaults and postal workers have had enough.
My local branch has had 31 armed robberies and physical assaults from February-September and lots of mail drop break-ins.
Maybe this will be looked at as the era of post COVID strikes?
I think a lot of people understand that the country is in big financial troubles, but other than casting their vote for candidates that SAY they will work to cut spending and balance the budget. What are they to do? If there is to be true change, some very unpopular decisions are going to have to be made and I'm afraid it probably isn't going to happen.
California just passed a far reaching health care bill making Healthcare minimum wage $25 per hour and various studies say 60 to 75% of Healthcare workers are getting a raise.all these union strikes are happening because inflation is so high, all the union workers need to make more money!
Luv me some Bidenomics!!!!
Seems that if Fast Food workers are getting $20 per hour, $25 is not out of line for a housekeeper, let alone anyone attending patients.....California just passed a far reaching health care bill making Healthcare minimum wage $25 per hour and various studies say 60 to 75% of Healthcare workers are getting a raise.
It also ties annual raises to inflation if I understand correctly.
I'm not clear what constitutes a Healthcare worker... is the security guard signing patients in a clinic a Healthcare worker?... what about Housekeeping in non patient areas?
