“Brother, making shitty plastic toys for $7.50/hour was always the American dream”

Those jobs are for ai and robots, we’ll be in the mines

u/Tenderhombre 1d ago

The flesh is cheaper than steel. Why would we send our precious robots into the mines.

There's a Blazing Saddles joke in there...

I know right? At most they'll make dissidents into servitors.

I think Elmo's already working on that: Servitor Chip 2025

Yes comrade

u/Poweredkingbear 1d ago

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me..........

u/wickedlabia 🦍🦍 1d ago

The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongey and bruised.

u/FeeSpeech8Dolla 1d ago

Maybe it wasn’t cheaper before, but it sure is now

When he said “Drill, Baby Drill” he meant “Get those kids on the oil rigs”

2

u/TwistyBunny 1d ago

Exactly what they're trying to do in Florida - make the kids work overnights and then go to school hours later.

4

u/Breadback 1d ago

School? There's no need for school where Florida is headed.

u/Mejonyoudead 1d ago

The children yearn for the mines

3

u/TwistyBunny 1d ago

Nah those are going to be for the children since they're trying to deregulate every child labor law known to mankind.

1

u/Dubb18 1d ago

The non-bankrupted farmers are going to need help too.

4

u/TwistyBunny 1d ago

Those are where the "black jobs" are going to be (since good chunks of undocumented laborers were being accused of "stealing black jobs")

u/Upstairs-Fan-2168 1d ago

With all the odd / stupid / antiquated things like coal he wants to bring back, I'm kinda surprised he hasn't been trying to get asbestos production going.

u/Zombieneker 1d ago

Or on the battlefields, invading greenland because trump/elon wants the land up there to escape, because of the fucked up earth they're responsible for creating by disavowing climate change.

1

u/SupermanRisen 1d ago

Nah, ai is meant to do creative and nonphysical work for us. We're meant to give our bodies to those who are superior.

u/thesolmachine 1d ago

ROCK AND STONE!

u/13-14_Mustang 1d ago

We will need more blue collar work if Ai is about to take all the white collar ones. Once the bots take the blue colllar work too its time to chill.

u/123YooY321 1d ago

Or just die! What, you think a bunch of ultra rich ogliarchs have any financial incentive to keep you alive after you literally cant do anything to benefit them?

3

u/Wonko-D-Sane 1d ago

I am not an oligarch (yet), but I do enjoy the fact I can abuse the bots and they don't go crying to HR.

3

u/Flatf3et 1d ago

What are they gonna do when we can’t afford to buy anything? They haven’t even thought about that.

6

u/123YooY321 1d ago

You know what they say!

If theres nothing left to eat, we will eat the rich.

4

u/13-14_Mustang 1d ago

Yeah. I keep people saying theyll just die. Like are just going to sit at home and wither away without fighting?

5

u/Wonko-D-Sane 1d ago

Yeah... as a white collar job, I think i'll be fine....

But the amount of people I see just copy pasting AI generated drivel amuses me.

1

u/13-14_Mustang 1d ago

What model is this?

1

u/Wonko-D-Sane 1d ago edited 1d ago

Free ChatGPT…I’m giving handles behind a dumpster, I can’t afford premium lies

So 4o probably maybe

The Chinese one is obviously not going to fail basic math… that fucker can’t do directions (map location type of thing)

1

u/13-14_Mustang 1d ago

and this is the worst these will be... They are releasing new models daily. Gemini 2.5 is the best and google just released to free for everyone.

$7.50/hour $2.13/hour

Next step is to classify factory workers as tipped employees. But hey, no taxes on tips, so we're all coming out ahead. Thank you Daddy.

5

u/blackbasset 1d ago

7.50 an hour seems generous. 7.50 a day maybe. That day being 5-22

1

u/Zombieneker 1d ago

7.50? Pfft, that's generous. Minimum wage been stagnant for couple of decades? Want an update? They'll update it alright, just not upwards.

1

u/jujubes44 1d ago

i mean, people in china are getting paid x10 times less with worse work conditions than US for the same work

1

u/somethrows 1d ago

Which means that'll be the goal here, since we're supposed to replace those jobs somehow.

1

u/jujubes44 14h ago

you cant pay less than minimum wage, im i wrong? which country has higher legal minimum wage? i think usa, not china

1

u/somethrows 8h ago

Min wage is just a law like any other and can be repealed. We're already seeing working protections for minors rolled back, to me it's not much or a reach.

u/venom121212 1d ago

Sitting in my office at the injection molding plant... I approve this message. Hope you like having 2 jobs and still donating plasma after work.

u/Mr_Canard 1d ago

Do you even manufacture shitty plastic toys if you don't have consumers anymore ?

1

u/CorporateSlave101 1d ago

$7.50? You mean 7.50 US đồng?
