    Neoliberalism shitposts like this one, is one reason why Trump won.

    Pro tip: relying on imported cheap (illegal) labor for critical production isn’t sustainable nor does it create a locally and globally stable society. Especially when the world has moved from uni-polar to multi-polar.

      I agree very much with this. Price increases are always disproportional to cost increases, and when cost goes down price does not. Just convenient excuse to increase profits.

      Reminds of corporations threatening to move out if USSA adopts labour law. To where? Europe with even more strict labour law?

      Hopefully this leads to more automation in those areas, I reckon that large scale agriculture is basically going that way since long ago

      I saw a carrot harvester that basically did all the packing by itself, that was awesome
