What a concept. Bring Manufacturing back to the USA. 🇺🇸

How many jobs does an AI factory create?

AI Overview

In an automated factory, the number of jobs needed changes significantly compared to a traditional factory
.
Fewer production-line jobs

• Automation handles many repetitive, manual tasks previously performed by human workers, reducing the need for direct labor on the assembly line.
• For example, BMW's Spartanburg plant uses extensive automation, yet their workforce increased to handle tasks robots cannot perform, such as programming and maintenance.

New and evolving roles

• The demand shifts towards highly skilled positions that complement automation.
• New jobs in fields like robotics, engineering, electronics, data science, machine learning, and AI strategy are emerging.
• Existing roles also evolve, requiring workers to develop new skills like programming, robotics, and data analysis to interact with automated systems. A mid-sized automotive parts manufacturer implemented training programs, allowing workers to adapt to automated assembly lines.

Potential for job creation

• Automation can lead to job growth by increasing efficiency and fostering competitive businesses, which then contributes to economic growth and further employment opportunities within the sector.
• Industries around creating and maintaining automated systems emerge and expand as demand for sophisticated production capabilities increases.
• While millions of jobs may be displaced, automation is also projected to create millions of new jobs, leading to a net increase in some cases, according to the World Economic Forum.

Focus on human skills

• Human workers remain essential for tasks requiring creativity, judgment, complex problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.
• These skills are not easily automated and are becoming increasingly valuable in an automated environment.

In conclusion, an automated factory will require fewer traditional assembly line workers but will necessitate a workforce with a different skillset focused on overseeing, maintaining, programming, and interacting with automated systems, creating new job opportunities and shifting the nature of work.

Not so blatantly. Trump will "reward" them.

OMG....good thing that hasn't happened in previous admins.

Hey....how about this...impose a massive tariff on a country becasue their government is going after a former president, and Trump likes the private citizen that he feels is subjected to a witch hunt. Higher prices for everybody so Trump can take care of a friend.

Read some US History books.

The U.S. first became significantly involved in other countries' internal affairs during the Barbary Wars (1801-1805 and 1815), where it fought against Barbary pirates in North Africa. These conflicts were the first nominal foreign wars waged by the U.S. after independence. Additionally, the U.S. intervened in Mexico in the 1860s, opposing the French installation of Maximilian I as emperor and supporting the Mexican government.

AI Overview

The United States has engaged in numerous interventions in other countries' internal issues throughout its history
.
Precise figures on the total number of interventions vary depending on the definition of "intervention" and the scope of analysis.

• A study by the Military Intervention Project at Tufts University found that the U.S. has undertaken over 500 international military interventions since 1776, with nearly 60% occurring between 1950 and 2017.
• Other sources indicate that the U.S. has engaged in nearly 400 military interventions between 1776 and 2023, with roughly half occurring since 1950.

These interventions have taken various forms, including:

• Military deployments and use of force: This includes overt military actions like the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as covert operations involving special forces or proxy groups.
• Regime change operations: Both overt and covert actions aimed at replacing existing governments with those more aligned with US interests.
• Interference in elections: Supporting preferred candidates or parties in foreign elections, as seen in cases like Italy in 1948 and Russia in 1996.
• Providing support to rebel groups:Offering training, weapons, and other assistance to groups fighting against foreign governments, such as the Mujahideen in Afghanistan and the Contras in Nicaragua.

Examples of interventions include:

• Overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in 1893.
• 1953 Iranian coup d'état orchestrated by the CIA.
• Bay of Pigs Invasion in Cuba in 1961.
• Intervention in the Vietnam War.
• Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq following the September 11th attacks.

The motivations behind these interventions have been diverse and include:

• Protecting economic interests.
• Promoting democracy and human rights.
• Counterterrorism.
• Countering the influence of rivals (e.g., the Soviet Union during the Cold War, China in recent years).

The effectiveness and consequences of these interventions are a subject of ongoing debate, with some scholars arguing that they often fail to achieve their stated objectives and can lead to unintended negative consequences, such as increased instability, civil wars, and human rights abuses.

Your severe Trump Derangement Syndrome or Tariff Derangement Syndrome leaves you blind towards any other motivations besides what you believe in your small mind.
