    the fun part about being an engineer for a German company that has some (very stupid) investments in China (the state actively uses local companies to undermine and exploit anyone who decides to have a factory there a few years after they open up) is that you end up seeing some of these places. and yes these places still very much exist, they only need people for the bare minimum (such as the people in those screwdriver stations(it’s the cables that give it away))

    oh you wish, toys like that are so simple to assemble that the cheap-ass Alibaba brand knock off machines are more than sufficient, and the robot is suddenly cheaper than having to hose down the children every two says because they can’t get up to use the restroom, basically they have like 10% of the workforce still in the factories because the screws don’t screw themselves (well these robots exist as well, but actually require precision, so they cost money)
