On immigrants and robots why can't we completely abandon foreign labor by automating everything? Often the answer boils down to the fact that in Russia it is cheaper to hire a guy with a shovel than to buy a robot. But the problem is deeper. Let's imagine a factory that produces 1000 tractors a year. And that's its limit: the already shrinking market doesn't need more, and exports to external markets (even to the Commonwealth of Nations) are hurt both by sanctions and (mostly) by global Chinese projection. So if we make one of the production lines automatic, the organization will actually produce the same 1000 tractors per year. As a result, their price will only increase, as we will have to "pay back" considerable investments in robotization. The same can be said about the vast majority of factories. The proposal to automate everything at the expense of the state sounds good in theory, but in practice it boils down to the question of where the money in the treasury comes from. Yes, yes, waste recycling fees were raised in part so robots could appear at AvtoVAZ. Mass automation of production can be economically beneficial, whether with a sharp strong growth in the volume of the domestic market, or with the sudden appearance of huge export prospects with masses of people who only want Russian goods. But how realistic does it look today? Robotization in Russia is not useless - it is already happening in the service sector. But in solving immigration problems, he will not play the leading role, as opposed to organized recruitment and control of workers along with finding ways to assimilate. Watch otherwise there will be a rash. Maximum support us with an original message.
