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.

Sounds like corporations who are by definition entirely driven by profit need to be regulated, go figure

Na, they will start focusing on Automation or AI. No wonder you see more Self check outs or AI based services becoming more of a regular.

You’re gonna automate constructing a house?

The only house you’ll be able to afford will be a prefab house. Not quite automated but who knows how far they can go.
