Mechanized harvesting and growing is much less than the dodos think.
And why would it be any more when you have a supply of voiceless workers you can exploit for cheap labor who can't complain? As long as they are available, automation will not take over. It will when the cost of the work rises high enough.

Hilarious

Automation doesn't happen if you have cheap labor? Is that another stupid excuse for mass deportations while having no immigration policy other than Shitler! wife, in-laws and help at margo-largo.

Basic economic reality, the work gets done by the lowest cost provider that can accomplish the needed task. Seriously, what do they teach kids in school today?

And I'm really glad we don't have any of those around, they sound scary.

What basic economic reality are you claiming? Automation will continue to happen regardless of cheap labor.

The work will always go to the lowest bidder that can get the job done. Business is not going to automate as long as it's more expensive than manual labor.

That's bullshit. Businesses will automate for repeatable performance and charge more for the products. Just look at the auto industry.

Classic example. Why do you think so many American cars are made all over the globe and not all here by robots? Did you think American cars are all made here, deliberately at higher prices than the international competition?

Because robots can't do all the jobs yet. They're assembled between all three of the countries with final assembly usually in country where they're sold.

Also, if your assertion of businesses always choosing the lowest bidder, nothing would be done in Canada or US over Mexico.

What happened to manufacturing jobs when foreign nations opened their facilities and low-cost labor to American companies? As I said, work is done by the lowest cost provider that can get the job done to the satisfaction of the customer. If the customer needs to maintain the facade of manufacturing cars in the US, they will leave a portion of the process to be done here by automation and the bulk of the rest done in cheaper places.

Sure, cheap products such as t-shirts.

And you don't read as pro a Merica first. Or even support American manufacturing or labor.

Economic reality doesn't recognize politics. Do you pay $10,000 more for a car because it's "American", even though most of it is assembled elsewhere? Or does economic reality require that the price of the car be similar to that offered by foreign competition?

I just pointed out that automation increases regardless of cheap labor because of many reasons. You have fixated just on cheap labor.
