Subject: [sparkscoffee] New Slogans Needed
Not only have most of our manufacturing jobs gone overseas, but now foreign
made robots will soon be taking over many service sector jobs in the U.S.
thanks to Obamacare, government regulations and minimum wage laws that
encourage employers to replace people with robots. Meanwhile government unions
demand higher pay and benefits that suck more and more money out of the economy
in the form of higher taxes, and the government colludes with the Federal
Reserve Bank to loot private pension funds and the savings of retirees using
financial engineering (quantitative easing), while the government borrows more
and more money in order to maintain the illusion of prosperity.

Instead of “Buy Union!” we need “Buy Human!”
Yesterday, Apple’s iPhone maker, Foxconn announced an immediate cut of 60,000
workers to be replaced by robots.
Today, Adidas announced the first ever 100% robot-made shoe.
“Speedfactory”
Deutsche Welle, Germany’s international broadcaster, reports Adidas Shoe
Manufacturing Will Return to Germany.
That’s the good news. The bad news for manufacturing job seekers is the shoes
will be 100% robot made.
The sportswear and equipment company also plans to open a second Speedfactory
in the United States in 2017, with similar ones to follow in Britain or in
France.
Its chief competitor Nike is also developing a robot-operated factory, but
Adidas said it is further along in this area.
1,000,000 Adidas shoe making jobs in China will vanish by 2018. Nike? Converse?
Everyone else?
In one of the largest terminations ever recorded in human history, iPhone
manufacturer Foxconn has decided to fire 60,000 employees in one single go.
Earlier this factory based out of Kunshan in Jiangsu province of China had
110,000 employees, but now, it will only have 50,000 human employees.
Department’s head Xu Yulian said, “The Foxconn factory has reduced its employee
strength from 110,000 to 50,000, thanks to the introduction of robots. It has
tasted success in reduction of labour costs,”
And the interesting aspect is that, almost all of the 600 major manufacturing
companies based in Kunshan are about to fire humans, and assign their tasks to
robots.
Current labeling is obsolete. Why bother with Made in China, Made in Japan, and
Made in USA type labels.
Adidas is going to open a “Speedfactory” in the United States in 2017, with
similar ones to follow in Britain or in France.
The equipment will be the same in each one. The resultant product will not
change a bit.
Instead of “Made in USA” or other useless country of origin factoids, consumers
might wish to know things like … “100% Robot Made”.
