So replacing immigrants with child labor? Way to go republicans.

Freedom from the drudgery of creativity allowing more time for labor.

It's interesting that I live in an area with a sizeable Amish population and they do everything like it's 1699. 2 hour round trip to Walmart and it's only 5 miles away. Anyway, they seem to have more free time than us English (actually where I'm at it would be Dutch but the Amish still call them English) with our labor saveing devices.

Ai is too busy writing poetry and painting pictures to dirty it's hands with such menial labour.

Not according to Bill Gates.

AI produce pickers huh... get used to artificial fruit.

If they can perform surgery, they can handle picking produce. Most likely a robot operating with AI can significantly out perform a human at it. And the mechanical end of it probably won't cost much. Probably not any more than a year's worth of illegal immigrant slave wages.

Not just immigrants but AI will see 10s millions of American citizens made permanently redundant. And since the USA is now being run as a company the only question is how will these non employees be removed from the company(country).

But the bight side is it will end the child labor issue.

Perfectly understandable.

Or it will put most of the United States or other countries out of work.

Yep. But isn't that the dream? When the covid shutdown came to an end, AOC and others talked about how great it would be to not go back to work.

I saw a story on the Amish and there are groups that have vehicles and use electricity. They can’t get their electricity from a public utility though, they have to use generators. It was very interesting

They use lots of solar and if you get solar panels installed, more than likely it will be an Amish crew doing it.

Why resort to child labor?
It seems to me like there will be no shortage of ex-government workers...

If they fire half of them that’s a million to fill the 12 million job openings.
12 year olds will be running meat slicers in delis.

These are usually “new order” Mennonites, a slightly different sect.

That seems like it will create a seller's-market economy, and drive wages up...
