Simple Math Fail? The Robot Problem & Trump's Plan To Create More Jobs..

[Silhouette]

How many of the "workers" above will buy new SUVs that get 12mpg?

It's a math problem that Trump's cabinet needs to work out. Otherwise Trump will look like a chump. We can just start calling him "President Chump" if he fails to look at the broader picture of today's economy and how to sculpt our automotive manufacturing in order to actually accomplish his goal.

First of all, nobody on today's tight budget is going to downgrade from a car getting over 30mpg to a tank that slurps up a gallon of gas every 12 miles. No matter how artificially cheap they make gas in the interim to trick consumers that "this is a good idea".

Second, robots don't buy houses, they don't buy cars, they don't buy groceries, or sundries or vacations or clothing or even beer. A banana republic can't afford expensive inefficient SUVs. And Europeans/Asians ain't going to buy them with gas there at over $6/gallon.

So how are we going to pump the economy back up again? Exactly? By retooling Detroit to pump out big gas hogs again? The 1970s called....they want their mileage back..

Of course Trump could consult Canada who is kicking ass in local manufacturing. They have laws that mandate a certain percentage of workers must be human beings. Because their education level is so much higher than ours, their children and future political managers passed basic math in the 3rd grade.

I mean..you know...just our entire economy is at stake on these pivotal decisions. No biggie. Remember, robots don't buy groceries, sundries, vacations, medicine, clothing, houses...cars............. And nobody, robot or human, is going to buy SUVs that get 12mpg. So are we heading for another big expensive bailout for Detroit? I think we are..unless there's a colony of beings on the moon who are big consumers of clunky, underpowered gas hogs built by robots only.

If our politicians were science & economics experts instead of ignorant narcissists hellbent on immediate greed, our country's economy would never have tanked in the first place. Trump may love himself more than the average Joe...but I think Trump even might sit back and ponder making a key mistake from the whisperings of those shortsighted men thinking they can resurrect the gas sales boon of the 1970s.

Will we sit silent while they make key decisions that will bring us to the precipice again? Contact your representatives people. Tell them to make Detroit make cars with people again. There will be some automation still of course, but they need more people involved. Also tell them that there's no market either domestically or overseas that want the 1970s mileage.

It's hard to reboot an economy off the backs of SUVs built almost 100% by robots...that stack up collecting dust at sales lots...

who maintains all of those robots? I bet there is quite a few mechanics to do the work when one breaks down. hmmmmmmmm talent change.

oh, and what about the programming? or do you also think they have a brain since you think they might buy a car?

Not enough people to run the entire US economy. That's for sure. One guy to oil the joints and one geek writing software for a company's robots. Yeah, that'll bring us back enough so everyone can buy a new inefficient SUV that gets 12mpg..

Go back and re-read the OP. This time more slowly. Let it really sink in...

It's funny now they claim jobs were not shipped over sea's by greedy CEOs

Trump's plan to bring jobs back from overseas is only half the problem solved. If the other half (see OP) isn't solved, it all will be for naught. We cannot afford a second 2008 crash. So this time they'd better get it RIGHT.

You stupid shit, so who makes the car parts?

[Correll]

20% of Germany's workforce is in manufacturing.

Germany Share of manufacturing - data, chart | TheGlobalEconomy.com


IN the US, that number is slightly over 10%.


Percent of Employment in Manufacturing in the United States (DISCONTINUED)


And the german's are not beating us because of slave wages.

So, an increase of 50% in manufacturing employment is not worth doing?

dudette, ahem, excuse me but,

who ever said every job in america is from car manufacturing?

Other robots....you know...the ones lining up to buy new big SUVs that get 1970s mileage..that Asian and European markets will avoid like the plague..and our people can't afford to drive..

so you just give up cause it isn't 100%? wow. you love those who don't work eh? you live with lazy.

Other robots.

built by whom, tested by whom, field trialed by whom, maintained by whom, programmed by whom and so on and so on. please

the real question is why would anyone think he'd "bring back jobs" that he ships out for his own manufacturing.

and why does anyone think that jobs won't be automated because the orange sociopath is in office?

Robots build them. Robot servos test them. A tiny cadre of actual humans road test certain models.

Well on the maintenance part you got me. These "initial quality" winners from Detroit's in-house awarding system *ahem* will lose that initial charm around 40K miles. So maybe yeah, fleets of auto mechanics? But even then they diagnose with computers in the car itself and plug ins at the shop. Repairs won't take much time as in an instant the mechanic's simple task can be printed out for him. Conceivable that even robots could do those tasks if the car was lined up on a special lift with part-locator lasers searching out the problem part to be replaced.

The point returning to...how many robots will buy SUVs getting 12 mpg...after they've outlived their Detroit-typical-short "initial quality" honeymoon phase?

How many Europeans or Asians will buy them at any quality level at $6 gallon and rising on gas?

If the foundation on the new economy is to be robust enough to last for decades to come, we'd do well not to skimp or be shortsighted on its "materials specifics" ..

You stupid



foundation for an even brigh





Job Creation
Originally projected to provide 2,000 jobs, BMW Manufacturing now has 8,000 people on site every day. Add to that the companies required to supply and support the campus, and BMW provides jobs for over 30,000 South Carolinians. Lost in the numbers is the level of quality BMW is adding to the local labor pool.

Keep believing the fairy tales dear ^^ Meanwhile get out your wallet....I smell another Detroit bailout coming...
