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.

I see that perspective now. I completely missed that originally. Thank you for your insights, it isn't something I had considered from my perspective. I think I need to reevaluate. Just sending this message to tell you thank you for your comment and I hear what you're saying.

I was kind of hoping we could get into a detailed discussion about the obvious corruption present in that Penguin Union, but I appreciate your perspective as well.
