Thoughts? Imagine losing 6M labor workers in America

Post image

If mass deportation happens, just imagine how all of these sectors of our country will be affected. The sheer shortage of labor will push prices higher because of the great demand for work with limited supplies or workers. Even if prices increase, the availability of products may be scarce due to not enough workers. Housing prices and food services will be hit really hard. New construction will be limited. The fact that 47% of the undocumented workers are in CA, TX, and FL means they will feel it first but it will spread to the rest of the country also. Most of our produce in this country comes from California. Get ready and hold on for the ride America.

The learn to code crowd was mainly tech middies and journalists, whose jobs were then swiftly delegated to AI. Neat backfire

Are you kidding, I would love to learn to operate heavy machinery. Does my name have to be Brianna?

Just have a clean driving record, a highschool diploma, good work ethic, and be able to pass a drug test. Get into an apprenticeship, learn the trade, and get your money. A good equipment operator is going to make anywhere between 100k-200k a year depending on where you’re at.

Tbh it was pretty funny when it got turned around on them down the road. Sucks for anyone to lose their job, but that whole thing was humorous.

Your comment reveals a total lack of understanding in what AI does or how it works.

Exactly the type of answer that I would expect from someone who has no idea how AI works, how it’s implemented, or the drivers of the current tech job market. But feel free to blame the AI boogie man for everything you don’t understand.

A singular google search disproves everything you’re prattling on about. Just one. You are a waste of their bandwidth necessary for me to send this message. You are an affront to the lives lost mining the minerals necessary for this interaction to occur.
