France is one of if not the biggest agriculture power in Europe, most farmers can't even generate a 35hr min wage equivalent while working 80+ hours a week. 20% of them live in poverty, half of them make less than 22k euros a year Truck drivers earn between min wage and 150% of min wage, while being on the road every day and not having a social life, they drive 8 hours per day and sleep in their fucking truck while some code monkey makes 300k+/year coding memeojis at apple. Guess which ones will be automated first by openai lmao

>Truck drivers earn between min wage and 150% of min wage Where are you getting this information? It's absolutely wrong. Long haul truckers (the one's you're saying don't have social lives because they drive 8 hours per day) make $71,196 on average in the US[1].

  He is talking about France in the sentence before. There are barely any truckers in Germany with a German nationality. They are simply not competitive. Same goes for package delivery. Just imagine what would happen to a trucker's salary in the US if it were to create a unified market with Mexico and all of Central America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_enlargement_of_the_European_Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_enlargement_of_the_Europe... It's not necessarily a bad thing. Economies of Eastern European countries have been growing after all and Western Europe does not have enough workers because of its demographics anyway. My take is, that everybody is winning, there is less poverty than before, but some sideffects look ugly for a while.

>half of them make less than 22k euros a year I'd be extremely happy making this amount. Some people are just accustomed to easier lives. >while some code monkey makes 300k+/year coding memeojis at apple. Meme position for a privileged caste statistically irrespective of skill in an institution that can piss money on anything and still succeed.
