The first thought was with Capitalism production, the means to produce would automatically require less (Labor)
Guaranteeing Lower Cost for the Consumer!!
First (flat¿Screen) 16" est cost $1,000.oo
Today (FLAT-screen) 40" est cost $169.oo
Automotive??? In 1976 how many physical labor hours? One Car ?
Guessing 20 people at One hour?
Today with all technology available One Car can be produced with less than ONE LABOR HOUR!! guessing again!
Should,Would and Could CAPITAL

I bet there are 14000 jobs in the fruit and vegetables fields in California, Florida, Alabama.
Well atl least they have the red MAGA hat.
Me da mucha tristeza, lo que pasa en GM es muy duro quedar sin empleo, cuando uno es el sosten de la familia, pero por desgracia la calidad de GM ya no es lo que era antes, yo compre una chevy silverado 2017 y me salio muy mala, del sistema electrico, se le cae la presion de aceite, ¡¡ y en la agencia no le encuentran el problema
NNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAA!
It's only gonna get worse and then a whole lot worse for all workers in all jobs and all fields of work. Companies are playing hard and fast ball with worker pay and benefits, we are all competing on a global scale now, have been for decades and locally so called secure, well paying, high paying jobs are extremely difficult to come by due to competition. If you're over 50, forget it, you're fucked. They don't care how skilled and experienced you are and anything you say in a job interview, no matter how good and positive, no matter what you bring to the table, they use against you. You really see the evil side of humanity in these job interviews and the application process. All you 20 and 30 somethings out there better get something up and running to fall back on, otherwise you're gonna end up just like these losers who think they're owed something just for showing up. Praying to god, chanting workers slogans, holding signs, painting banners, clapping your hands like you got it all under control, the mighty mighty union, nodding your head in agreement, forget it, you're fucked and you put yourself there. Get yourself into a position in life where work is optional because you have good and reliable sources of income from something other than a job. You also need to protect yourself from psychopathic, egotistical bosses who can make your life a living hell on a daily basis. Yeah, yeah, I know what the bible says about god's wrath but it could take decades for it to come about and then what, they replace that asshole with another one?! Fuck that!!!
You're right. I apologize. Sincerely.
Resource Based Economy
Nationalize the banks and the major corporations and run the in the public interest.
This is a perfect example of what’s wrong with corporate capitalism. One class owns, another class works and has no power at all over their own lives.
Yellow vest America now.
Another Leftist promoting Radical solutions….That all they can come up with ??!!
Enough bailouts! Seize the unused factories using eminent domain. If oil companies can take private property so they can personally profit, why can't the govt take unused facilities, build EV's as part of the Green new deal.
Seize the means!
exactly….the only thing left…is the Radical…look at France…and the fuel tax. the working class has had it.. AMERICANS REVOLUTION INTO LEGITIMACY…NOW.
Good product, good business !
The product is the problem.
No more bailouts without repayment !
Global labor for global capital
