Trump Says It's Actually 'A Good Thing' Ford Can't Hire Enough Workers: 'You're Gonna Have a Thing Called Robots'

[In It to Win It]

President Donald Trump argued on Tuesday it is “a good thing” that Ford could not hire enough workers because they would soon “have a thing called robots.”

“The CEO of Ford said not long ago he’s got 5,000 open mechanic jobs,” said CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil during an interview with Trump at a Ford plant in Detroit. “He can’t find people willing and able–”

The president interrupted:

I know, but that’s a good thing, Tony. That means it’s vibrant. You could also have things where you have so many people and they can’t get jobs. It’s true, we are doing so well it’s hard. Now what’s going to happen is people are being trained rapidly and you’re gonna have a thing called robots, and robots are gonna be a big factor. I predict that robots are gonna be a big factor in the future and it’s gonna help out.But you have a situation now where our economy is doing so well that it’s not that easy to get people. We’re training people, they’re training people, companies are training people, and they’re doing well. You know, that’s a positive question you asked me. I don’t think you asked it in that way, but we are doing so well right now that we’re training people to take those jobs.

2. Hey MAGA - your favorite president doesn't give a fuck about you, your job, or your livehood. Got it?

You've been lied to for 10 straight years by a propaganda channel that's been running his protection racket for 15 years. Now nod your head and say "d'oh".

[TBF]

3. So, MAGA was concerned about costs -

and now they are going to be replaced by robots.

FAFO.

8. Who is going to buy the robot produced products?

When the population of living wage employed Americans has become the minority of the tax base, who is going to purchase the products?

Who is going to afford cars, insurance, fuel, maitenance?
Who will be able to drive to a grocery store? Oh wait, they will be delivered by robots, for those that can afford it.

Is that why there are Dollar Generals so close together across this country? So that people can walk to their low quality Company Store?

What is the domino effect of the mass unemployment for the competing companies for the US dollar to make their "quarterly reports" and satisfy their "stock holders" returns on investments?
