Now, about those burger flippers demanding $15 an hour.

Japan don’t need illegals to do jobs they won’t do, they build robots to do the work!

[ClearCase_guy]

Apparently, Mexicans cannot swim across the Pacific, so the Japanese have to find other methods to harvest produce.

Paging John McCain.

Try to silence Joan Baez singing in the background - I think it might have been her. ;)

"the robots look more like conveyor belts with arms" No, we don't. OK, maybe.

How many illegal aliens will be out of work?

[bgill]

Sort of takes away the fun of gardening. Out in the fresh air and watching the birds playing in the sprinkler. Ha, turning the sprinkler on the dogs. The feeling of pride in seeing things you planted grow. Having the cats come help you dig. A bit of exercise.

So unless robots poop I suppose less E Coli in the lettuce? Chipotle may yet survive.

And here's a message from the Republican candidate who will be foisted on America by the government-income mob for the 2020 general election.

Notorious celebrity: check.

Rich: check.

Vulgar charisma (and just plain vulgar): check.

General insult against voters: check.

Stealth socialist presented as a conservative: check.

[No insult to Terry Alan Crews. He did a great job of playing the part.]

[inpajamas]

Yes, 30,000 heads a day and ISIS has already placed a large order for some of them.

Those plotter-looking machines for farming were developed with open source designs, by the way. Even technically inclined former burger flippers will be farming with them.

[Cowboy Bob]

Making Mexicans obsolete?

[BobL]

So just how badly do we need the (illegal) unskilled laborers if something like this exists?

Sure, lettuce will likely cost a bit more (maybe 10% more), but many thousands of people can be sent home - a win for America.

Doesn’t solve everything though...it will take a lot more technology to have robots building homes...so still lots of semi-skilled people needed - ideally guest workers?

[Mrs. Don-o]

One way to prevent the E. coli contamination, anyhow.

[kvanbrunt2]

cool its hydroponic i’ve got a garden in my attic tomatoes mostly now and i have lettuce towers being built. the sub zero killed the beans and cucs.

[Rebelbase]

Vertical indoor farming. I wonder what the power, maintenance and tech costs + high tech labor are compared to field grown and manual labor.

Might be good for Japan where land is scarce and no cheap labor but here in the US?

[MasterGunner01]

There are a lot of jobs that are being done by low skilled workers (as example, agriculture) or semi-skilled workers (as example, construction). Automation will virtually eliminate such jobs. As anyone come up with ideas how these uneducated and lowskilled/semi-skilled workers can find employment? Deporting all the welfare leeches from Mexico and the Middle East would be a good start, but the American education system produces dumber graduates every year that are unemployable.

DANG!
