Labor shortage in America. A viable solution? Here are a couple

You pretty much have to be connected to get the big money jobs in construction lol. It takes time. And experience too of course, but experience isn’t usually enough.

There is no labor shortage. Shut off the the govt. taps and millions will be motivated to work. This will also stem the immigration flow.

Well sure, that’s not a job I wanted to explore. After unloading tricks for UPS I knew hard labor was not for me. But at that time the pay made it worth it. I was 18. But at 30 years old? No way.

Also at around that time I took the test for the post office and passed. Twelve years later I got a letter in the mail stating a position was now open. It went right in the garbage. I didn’t even read the entire thing.

And as someone who has owned a restaurant I can tell you getting a consistent ingredient control is worth a heck of a lot on its own. A human can cost you a fortune by using too much cheese or pepperoni or whatever.

You are funny. David Letterman would be proud of your liberal liberation jokes.

I’m just going by the videos I saw. It doesn’t look like a 300 an hour pizza machine.

But for the sake of the argument, lets say it does. Someone has to constantly feed the bins. Someone has to cut them. One person isn’t cutting 300 pizzas in an hour at most places. Not only that, but every pizza going in is going to have to be individually typed in. The same amount of workers are going to be needed.

Managing employees can be very rough. Especially employees who don’t give a ■■■■■ Work within is declining to a free for all.

I would hazard a guess that the order can be entered from an ordering app. nAny way you slice it, that machine can cut both the number of employees you need to hire and also the amount of training required. Not to mention improved product cost control.

Is that all that farmers grow?

That’s my point. I don’t think it will cut back on the people needed to hire. Maybe 1 tops? Like I said, someone still has to cut them and keep the bins filled. I think it’s an excellent product. I just don’t see many losing their jobs over it. But besides that…

Take a look, does this thing look to you like it’s pumping out 300 an hour? It wasn’t even cooked yet.

Blueberries, etc., Large farm berries are harvested by machine. Workers do tend the growing area and other duties.

Not strawberries, still done by hand.

All that’s happened is instead of taxpayers paying bout 50% of their earnings we are paying 100% oh well this is the socialism so many conservative on here love taken to the next level

This is the best thing that has happened to the country in a while since it might lead to some actual reform/awareness. First remove what amounts to taxpayers funded subsidized wage increases to companies employees that have created an unfair playing field. If that can’t be done the majority of the amount paid to a companies employees by the taxpayers should be reimbursed by corporations.

Everywhere?

I am in CA…near the coast…a lot of fruit and veggies grown here…I see people in the fields picking…not machines.

Huh? Were you in the right thread, or did you intend to just waste that little bit of internet space with nonsense?

You don’t think a robot can cut a pizza?:joy:

Input every pizza are you foreal??? You could connect it to start and complete online and kiosk orders the second they are placed. If set up correctly you won’t even need a cashier.

:rofl:

Remember the big push to make it harder to hire illegals back in the early Obama years? There wasn’t a shortage of people “tending the growing areas and other duties.” There was a shortage of people to harvest crops that are harvested by hand.

A farm labor shortage that left crops rotting in the fields after Georgia passed a law cracking down on illegal immigration shows the need for a retooled or expanded guest worker program for migrant laborers, Georgia’s agriculture commissioner told a panel of Washington lawmakers Tuesday.

Commissioner Gary Black testified at a Senate subcommittee hearing on immigration enforcement and farm labor that an informal survey showed farmers of onions, watermelons and other handpicked crops lacked more than 11,000 workers during their spring and summer harvest. Farmers say that’s because the Georgia immigration law scared off many migrant workers. Similar complaints are being [heard in Alabama with its tough new law.]

Brian Cash can put a figure to the cost of Alabama’s new immigration law: at least $100,000. That’s the value of the tomatoes he has personally ripening out in his fields and that are going unpicked because his Hispanic workforce vanished literally overnight

They offered financial incentives (ie-wage increases) and couldn’t get citizens to do the work.

Most will end up just ■■■■■■■ around, possibly stealing or not giving two ■■■■■■ I used to price match ps4s, tvs ect to like 50$ at Walmart because no one working their gave a ■■■■■ Eventually managers had to start approving the matches and It went from 95% success rate to like 66%

Now illegals are welcome into the USA and libs want to make em citizens. Oh well I think this is an opportunity to lower wages across the board.
