    I like how he asked about building in a right to work state!

      I hope these factories will be technologically advanced and not need lots of workers in the first place. The workers they need will be programmers and skilled technicians. They will be highly educated not lunk head union members.

      @Jg Rsb I’m sure they were lunk heads before they joined a union!

      @dehoyos rudolph yes, but unions attract lunk heads.

      @Jg Rsb Unions are like the mob they just steal from the workers. Sure back in the day they were needed but now…. IDK about Ford but I would rather work at Tesla and get stock options and my FULL paycheque! Getting Ford stock would be a NEGATIVE of employment.

    I’m glad for Ford. I’m hoping the new factories are fully automated so they are more efficient.

On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast recorded live at the Vermont Hollywood theater, Rachel Karten, author of the Link in Bio newsletter, and Taylor Lorenz, founder of User Mag, talk about the possibility of AI killing all humans, or maybe just some.
