The covid lockdowns showed me just how vulnerable the automation industry is to disruptions.
It also showed how valuable the automation industry was to cutting COVID-19 off at its knees if a bunch of pansy right-wingers hadn’t started to screech they couldn’t breath because of a few grams of paper on their face. (Weird how they can wear masks now when it involves being cruel to non-whites…)
When COVID-19 hit there was a shortage of surgical and N95 masks world-wide. Then a guy invented a machine that could “print” obscene numbers of surgical masks per day, each machine costing only about $50,000. Within weeks surgical masks were available to the point that they cost almost nothing. Then someone else figured out how to make KN95 masks easier to mass produce on the same kind of “printing” machine and now KN95 masks are also cheap like borscht and universally available.
Without automation there’d have been a whole lot more deaths to COVID-19 around the world, not just in snowflake countries.
