72 seconds to make a car, 10 years to pay it off.
New jobs will be created. Humans are not worthless, despite liberal feelings on the subject.
Hmmm I didnt know there was a Hyundai plant in Chennai... i will have to check it out next time...
That's not the impression I have had of most Indians I have met in the US, most of whom seem pretty smart -- but that might have something to do with the problem.
I was hoping the sudden rise in unemployment among Indian programmers was because people who know what they’re doing started to review the Indians’ work. Oh well.
What about selling cigars...?
I know what you mean! I just heard that someone has domesticated the horse and I will soon be out of work!
Woe is me!
Sounds like a repeat of the Industrial Revolution.
In the region I lived in, most construction work including roadbuilding was still being done by manual labor. Heavy equipment was only rarely used, and only for very large projects. Just going to a more modern construction methodology is going to put huge numbers of laborers out of work. Ditto for farming.
I would second the upthread post about sending out massive cleanup crews to deal with the incredible amount of free-range trash and garbage, as well as environmental pollution. I’d augment that effort by revolutionizing the city/housing model in India by building arcologies i.e. a giant structure that is a fully self-contained city. The construction of such structures would employ huge numbers of people; not just laborers, but engineers, electricians, plumbers, etc etc. Once done, the vast swathes of the poor can be moved into their own apartments with actual plumbing (and a preliminary education course on how the apartment works). That would free up large areas of land for cleaning and rehabilitation. Wealthier residents can buy larger sections of the residential area of the structure providing additional subsidy to the poverty apartments.
All that in turn gets cars off the road, centralizes polluters so the pollution stream is easier to clean, frees up land for more efficient farming, and gets the poor/undereducated into a controlled environment where it’s easier to help them. The controlled environment would make it easier to control crime.
Hmmmm... I thought those were street apes... I just can't keep up with all this new terminology...
Those that were laid off went into business for themselves.
Using data stolen from the Dell and Microsoft call centers, these barely speaking English call American Dell owners and attempt to get credit card info. They are very persistent in the annoying way only Indians can be
After that long winning streak they just put together they’re looking for work? Oh, wrong Indians.
“Ever more Indians are struggling to find work”
Dot or feather Indians?
That's one big mother of an IF for a country where the vast majority of over 1 billion people have no access to toilet facilities of any kind...
