Baloney production IS automated

Baloney. Automation would be further along by now had not cheap foreign labor and bad working conditions been instituted to cut against the savings. Doesn’t take too long for people to get good at a repetitive task. Shorter shifts could well make people more productive. (Just as, for example, shorter call center shifts often do.)
Harvesting labor itself is a very small portion of overall food costs.
Even if greedy entitled vegetable farmers ( the new slavers/human traffickers ) paid Americans $20 or $30/hr the cost at the supermarket would hardly budge up at all. Labor is not much of the TOTAL per unit cost at retail.

jokes aside - yes, if pickers are banned in favor of Americans, then automation will get a boost. But then that means less jobs.
Also, automation will take time - for this season you’ll just have people.
And the people will take time to get good at a repetitive task - look at your average lazy Joe who works a desk job. It’d take months. The picking season is 4 months. If Joe Blow needs 2 months to be as good as Jose Bloze, that means the farmer will need more Joe Blows initially.

Cronos quit projecting your abject worthlessness as a worker and human being onto the rest of us. Go away you globalist hack POS.
For the record, without the farm workers we will not have farm products. That’s what the President said and is a fact of American life.
With all the jobs returning from China, we don’t have the labor to harvest crops
Fewer jobs for foreign anchor baby vectors? Perfect!
And again, the labor cost of harvest pickers is a tiny share of the retail price of such foods.
What record, the records at the Bureau of globlist Bull $h1t?

F U. What you meant was this: we don’t have the labor to harvest crops who will work for substandard 3rd world wages.
Fixed it for you. Loser please go away. Got the sniffles yet? Sore throat?
It would be better for the country overall yes, even if it does add some pain.
Nah, I was projecting your abilities (or lack thereof).
So when are you going to go down to picking on the farm?
Yes.
As soon as you stop making love to your wet back picked cucumber.
Nah, don’t do that, it seems to be more your kinda thing, eh?
