Ford can’t hire techs cuz they don’t pay shit. No robot with any amount of ai nonsense in it will ever be remotely capable of replacing a mechanic. When is it ok to get the acetylene torch out? How does the bolt FEEL as you undo it, is it about to snap? Do u need to pump heat into it and feed it some wax? Did you spill brake fluid on the customers paint? Was the customer concern duplicated before determining what the repair was? Who did the diagnostic work? Was it test driven and quality checked afterward? Was the customer made aware of any other potential issues down the road? Ai and robots may be able to help in menial and manufacturing tasks but would never be capable of repair in automotive, especially not anywhere rust is common !
Jim Farley recently did a town hall or something similar and all the mechanics on the internet ask him to come into the shops and see what the work is actually like. He didn’t address the low pay etc. Just pay the techs more and they’ll come. A good tech needs to know air conditioning , electrical, networking amongst other stuff and the still get paid shit. Chrysler has an airbag recall listed at. 1.4hr, but it takes about 2hrs of fast paced work as an example.
Here’s Mr Subaru
Is this a quote from 30 years ago?
He’s so dumb
you’re gonna have a thing called robots, and robots are gonna be a big factor. I predict that robots are gonna be a big factor in the future and it’s gonna help out.
I mean, industrial robots have been a pretty prominent thing at auto manufacturers for an awfully long time.

Robot, First Unimate Robot Ever Installed on an Assembly Line, 1961
Unimate robots were the world’s first successful industrial robots. The units, designed by Unimation Inc., could perform tasks in manufacturing facilities that were difficult, dangerous, or monotonous for human workers. This is the first Unimate ever used on an assembly line. It was installed at the General Motors plant in Trenton, New Jersey, in 1961 to unload a die-casting press.
I would be so incredibly ashamed if that would be my president. So unproffesionally childish…
Unprofessionally childish is the first in a litany of descriptors used to exemplify this rectal fissure’s countenance. And yes, there’s a good number of us here that were/are ashamed and would rather have seen him on his hands and knees taking it dry while serving the rest of his pathetic existence in prison for his inaugural attempt at usurping our laws and peace during his first tenure as Diddler-in-Chief.

Ooohhh so here is where a ford worker called him “protector of pedofiles” and he got mad? Poor guy. If you watch the video, you can see how mad he gets for it.
Edit: the video in question is this:
The fact that the president flipped off a constituent during a press event is pretty unprecedented. I don’t think it’s been done in a hundred years, if ever. The man is not well, and neither is his party.
I mean even Biden called a reporter a “son of a bitch” to the guy’s face.
Totally warranted imo, but I think that was also unprecedented? Maybe I’m forgetting some stuff about LBJ though.
I would not be surprised if LBJ whipped out Jumbo and pissed on someone.
“Pedophile…”
fingerguns “you sonuvabitch, you know it!”
“Protector!”
flips the bird “fuck no, the only pedo I protect is peDonald! Only I will be allowed to diddle kids!”
He’s already suspended.
The worker? Fired, you mean?
Probably suspended because of the Union.
I read suspended, but wouldn’t be surprised if he was sent to an ICE facility only to be deported to some off shore brutal prison.
ooh source on that clip please?
…instead of raising wages.
CEO politics!
