Maybe factories should get smart and build machines that build machines to reduce labor, like china is doing.

- jmt_ 4y agoFactories that are behind on automation cannot simply build & develop the machines you're describing in a short amount of time. It's not nearly as simple as "oh, just make a robot to do it. duh". Maybe some companies should have been more proactive about this pre-pandemic but there are many prohibitive reasons smaller operations were unwilling to do so. The economy is more likely to stabilize before the majority of factories (that aren't already doing so) are able to automate a meaningful amount of their work.
