r/antiwork - Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like.

I fully support your 13th year/ 8th grade being forced to work in farm starting summer then working in other places that produce and package your food. I think then people would learn how things are actually made and the kids could make some cash before high school

TBH child harvest/planting labor is peak nationalism. You wouldn't want to have illegals if there was a national agricultural program for schoolkids.

In the old days they used to employ kids at the pineapple cannery during harvest to make up for the labor shortfall.

I meant for kids to watch not be unpaid or forced workers.

Works good for them and getting paid will make them learn the value of a dollar. When I had my first job as a kid I was more likely to spend it wisely as I began thinking about it as how many hours it cost me

Growing up kids went to farms as field trips. Being from PA we visited the Amish. I think this needs to be done more. We also need to send kids to factories to learn how things are made.

You want a field trip to CHINA?!?

Also these anti work types are not necessarily "minimalist" who don't buy a lots of things. They want their TV's and electronic devices, but don't see the connection between all the labor and time it took to make it.

Many of them do make the connection, they just feel that they are personally owed a comfortable lifestyle. They enjoy talking altruistically about what should happen with everyone but if they are able to afford a comfortable consoomer lifestyle in a trendy urban area but everyone else can fuck off, 99% of these antiwork losers would take it without thinking twice.

When you get your first real job (you put effort, you have expected standards, away from mom and dad) you start to evaluate the cost of everything and the value of money. It's something that i would say really ushers you into adulthood and learning how the world works and operates. When you have constant handouts from the government and/or your parents, you take everything for granted and you have this constant entitled behaviour that everything should be handed over to you.

Plus, how many of these people cannot fathom that some people cannot live without a job? That perhaps some people need a semblance of routine, duty and purpouse in their lives in order to be ok?

Like all autists living in a hugbox, they have no theory of mind; they can't comprehend that there are people with different values and mental processes as them.

Gamify strawberry picking and give them exp points based on the quality and number of berries picked per hour.

You'd have them all getting heat exhaustion.

huh?? There are many factories in the USA.

Many abandoned factories, maybe. But I don't think visiting those would benefit kids in any way

Wooot! USA! USA!

SEE?!? We didn’t need no stinking Trump or making America great!

Over 600 THOUSAND manufacturing businesses!

Lemme see that page to bask in the glory of AMERICAN LABOR!

“However, establishments that transform materials or substances into new products by hand or in the worker's home “

Oh? Does that include my Etsy bead necklace business?

“and those engaged in selling to the general public products made on the same premises from which they are sold, “

Oh dear! Guess it does!

“such as bakeries, candy stores, and custom tailors, may also be included in this sector.”

Welp, guess a bakery visit can be educational too!

It definitely would be. Do you really think nothing is made in the USA?

 

[Fapcop]

Kinda OT, but not nearly enough, and not as much as could be.

Labor costs isn’t even the issue, labor is just a small part of the cost of making most things manufactured today.

The problem is one of systematic export of entire supply chains, permissions/planning and the engineers often needed to operate a modern factory.

China graduates as many engineers every year as exist in the entire US.

Have you ever worked with an engineer from China? At a past position I worked at, our interns were able to do a better job than a gaggle of chinks with PhDs in engineering in a matter of just days after the interns started. It’s a meaningless statistic, as anyone who outsources this shit will tell you.

I've only worked with Indians but I think it's the same thing. Highly regimented education that kills any will to think critically. Or possibly a societal thing? I don't know.

Pretty sure you can find someone qualified with that many of them. Say some of the ones who’ve been working with an American company.

Besides, it doesn’t matter if they’re not the best. You don’t need them to engineer bridges and rockets and shit. Just to run the machines and supervise the workers.

Let’s say you want to build a huge cellphone factory or OLED factory. You’ll need 1500 engineers to supervise production and 6000 trained machine operators.


In China you’ll find them in a week.

In the US? Good luck finding that many ina few months. Plus then the unions get involved and will try to milk you. Depending on where you’re located, you’ll deal with useless politicians either trying to get you to hire niggers or some of their useless buddies.

Yeah. Chink degrees might not always be first grade.

But they’re there. Unlike the U.S. where manufacturing is a distant fourth behind selling each other shit, grievance studies and cutting each other’s hair.
