Can you imagine. Putting together an entire assembly line. Logistics. Parts outsourcing. From the die stamp machine with tolerances of 0.0001" to make those shitty stainless steel bodies to how many rolls of toilet paper there should be in each stall, or the type of soap in the luch room. All those intricate details. To only sell 39,000 of those shitboxes.
Yes and it’s fast, and quiet in comparison to many other sabotage.

Mpatch@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•AI-powered 20 foot robots coming for construction workers' jobsEnglish9·18 days agoI do equipment repairs for my bread and butter. And if they wanted to yes they most definitely will make equipment that is reliable as fuck and can be used and abused indefinitely. The worst part of it. All it takes is one ceo from deere, cat, komatsu, libberhr etc to say you know what, that construction guy pissed me off. It may sound petty but I have seen a local ceo buy out kenworth just because the sales guy was late and then fired him.

Yes I am dumb normie. Who has set up for doing things a certain way. I have my cnc plasma tables, my 3d printers and cnc mills. They are essential to my business. I need to be able to run the cad programs, communications and links. I have spent alot of hours already establishing this, learning how to do this. I don’t have time to re learn all this because I “should switch to linux” I don’t have time to learn new cad programs because the ones i use aren’t Linux friendly. Many of us normies just don’t have that spare time to go through the process. I just need something that I know will work.
I do heavy equipment/industrial/marine maintnace and fabrication work. The ability to overhead load things into the bed. Rather than being limited to what is on a pallet with a forklift. Being able have cargo that is longer than the bed of the truck and not have to drive with cab doors open. Being able to install a 5th wheel trailer to tow more than what the standard ball hitch allows. You shure aren’t going to make a tow truck out of a van. Bulk cargo? Just show up to quarry or dirt pit load a bucket full or 2 and of you go. Lots of reasons. These are just the basic examples. There’s lots more. From welding rigs to just being able to put a skid of drywall in with out hassle.

These fucks and their prop 65 bull shit. Everything causes cancer. But it’s okay for my kids’ clothes and bedding to be filed with flame retardant? Why? There’s a higher risk of them spontaneously combusting rather than getting cancer?
