You mean those laughable robots unworthy of the name that are 20 years behind Boston dynamics and still require an operator to actually do anything at all?

Yeah, that is going to happen just as much as the hyper loop is going to happen. And the missions to Mars. And the full self driving.

Musk is full of shit, always has been. He's a scammer who got incredibly lucky and from there on just floated up on his bullshit that Musk boys lapped up like honey.

I'm fairly certain Trump intends to arrest all the illegal looking folk that he can and then use them as prison labor for all the jobs that they used get paid for.

It's not a laughing matter. The poors will pay, and the rich people won't notice.

"how much can one banana cost, Michael? Ten dollars?"

It'll be because democrats are trying to raise the minimum wage and let trans people be represented in libraries.

/s, cuz I get in trouble for not relaying sarcasm well

Lol yep the only crops we will get will have to be imported and heavily tariffed. Gg Trump

I live in farm country, and yes these guys are constantly voting republican and complaining endlessly about illegals, they buy into this non sense and they genuinely think it some how magically won't effect them, or that white migrant farm workers are going to magically appear.

You know it. They consistently vote against their own best interests.

They forgot to read the memo

"Ah sure ahm tired of all the mean tweets, but he tells it like it is!"

How about the Cubans? /s

History has many examples of how shipping urban intellectuals off to work on farms rids you of said intellectuals and leads to (checks notes) mass starvation. Since that’s the worst possible outcome, I imagine he’s going to go with that.

To deport someone, the receiving country has to agree to accept them. Mexico will accept their own nationals, and possibly those of some other countries, but they won't accept everyone. What do you do with people who's country refuses to accept them back (this has happened)? And what do you do with them when you can't determine where to send them back to? You've already promised they won't be let loose, so you'll put them into containment facilities - all very hastily-built, because there are so many people you've accumulated so quickly.

But you have more people than you know what to do with, and they're all just idling in the camps, and the nation is desperate for workers. The temptation is too great: instead of spending all this money maintaining the camps, you can offset the expenses by renting them to various industries as cheap labor.

It's still expensive, your people still resent spending money on them, and you still want to deport them, so you don't spend much on food or medicine or clothes or sanitation. Winter comes, disease rips through the camps, and masses die - but that's not your responsibility, these things happen ...

Just a reminder that most of the concentration camps Germany built weren't extermination camps, they were slave labor camps but the administration didn't care if the prisoners died of disease or injury, they'd just round up more people to feed the German machine.

Yeah, I'm absolutely opposed to this deportation thing, it's cruel and if anything I feel that we should be encouraging more immigrants to come here, but the "it'll be bad because it'll get rid of all the people who do these jobs american citizens don't want to do" line does sorta gloss over the fact that if the job conditions are so bad that if people have literally any other option the role goes unfilled, something probably needs to be done to improve the conditions of that job, especially if it is as vital as food production.

Is it you and me? I bet it's you and me.

Prisoners

Well I'm hoping white people but we know how well that worked in Georgia and Arizona, we found out they're just too soft to work those jobs despite being told they would be taking their jerb back

It happened in 2016 and they found out and they went back to the trough for more toadstool.
