"The company employs 18 shop floor ppl over 2 shifts and we pump out about 100% more than when it was 55

Those jobs are NOT coming back, whatever some politician blathers on about."

And then the politicians go on about people having fewer kids and what can be done to encourage more breeding and population growth. In the next breath they are whinging about climate change caused by human activity.

The disappointing thing I see is automation isn't used very often to ensure consistent, high-quality products, but as a way to crank out cheap junk faster with less labor.
