So this campus was built and designed for something that everyone figured out how to do from home? All these companies also became hyper efficient, and had way to high of a head count for a long time?

I've heard people talk about affordable housing, but what would the jobs be if all the jobs were at the campus? If these jobs can be done remotely, why would anyone pay for a higher cost of living employee? Just because a person costs more, doesn't mean they are the best choice.

-GM enters the Chat-

Back in late 2008 I was working as a line worker in my 2nd year as a temporary worker. I was laid off during the crash, and 6 months later I received a letter that I no longer had a job with General Motors. I read in the paper a few months later about the plant I worked at being bulldozed.

Just like that, thousands of good paying jobs were destroyed even though the corporation was given government money to remedy the problem.

As for our CEOs? Well they couldn't be reached at their yachts and private mansions for comment. I started looking at Unions, Corporations, and the Government with a pretty dirty look after those years.

Of course the process would change with the advent of the Penguins Assembler Union (PAU of Antarctica), but we are talking about a fixed process. But they just fought for a contract saying that our Foxconn venture will employ 200,000 penguin laborers even though they can build cellphones with 100 skilled penguins. The rest will be janitors and cooks in the factory to improve moral. It's in the contract.

I see your point over processes changing with innovative processes, automation, skilled labor, or any other number of things we both have not mentioned here.

The og comparison is we currently have 200,000 people employed in the production of cellphones and 173,000 in the production of vehicles.

I was responding to a person asserting that comparison was unfair due to differences in population, which made little sense to me.
