we’ve just lost the innovations that come with running that of wider sector
I'd argue that is not the case at all since manufacturing innovation is a commodity sold to the global market. See manufacturing trade shows. The tech is available, the skilled labor doesn't exist in plentiful numbers to exploit such tech readily.
Some have even argued that because America’s software and internet sectors have been so lucrative, talent has been diverted away from older industries.
Please just say the quiet part loudly. Wages in manufacturing are disproportionately lower than other jobs with much less skill required. Tool and die machinists in socal have wages close to McDonald's/Costco workers.
Sorry but how is grinding a punch form within .004mm, (dis) assembling stamping dies with incredible complexity for 10hrs a day without any procedural error premitted comparable with food assembly... One could put the lettuce before the pickles and no one would bat an eye. Put the wrong die in a station and production halts for hours costing hundreds of thousands of lost profits.
I believe the same can be said about construction as well.
Naturally, making physical goods rather than virtual ones mean less margins but of course the C-level executives must have their billion/multimillion salary bonus every year... Wonder what barrel they scrape all that extra money from...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Haven't read the entire thread so apologies if you've already provided this information but could you show us a picture of your monitor's osd with the input source information? That should tell you right there that your input device isn't sending out what you desire.
Also if you don't have a >144hz option in your os's display options, try disconnecting any other monitors you have plugged in.
If I had to take an educated guess, it is the absurdly immense pressure for academic and career success. Basically through one's entire childhood and early-adult life. A child's day would be something like public school from morning to afternoon and private tutoring after that until night time. Rince and repeat with an ever growing pressure for an acceptance into a highly rated university.
And on top of that, incredible wealth inequality.
So from childhood until death it all seems like constant pressure to become excellent. Seems like life would be hopeless if one struggles with the academics and fails to secure a career.
A total of 39,453 people killed themselves from 2020 to 2022, according to data from the health ministry and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency submitted to Rep. Baek Jong-hean of the ruling People Power Party.
Apparently the party is South Korean so I presume the stats are just for South Korea.
The automakers’ last known wage offers were around 20% over the life of a four-year contract, a little more than half of what the union has demanded. Other contract improvements, such as cost of living increases, restoration of defined-benefit pensions for newly hired workers and an end to wage tiers within the union are also on the table.
What happened to the 32 hour work day? Disappointment in AP for not mentioning this.
Engineers wants features held to less than 10 microns. Big parts on 'easy' materials.
Their idea of making parts is tossing it into any and all CNC machinery and automatically get good parts. That is rarely ever the case with tight tolerance parts.
Key proposals from the union have included 40% hourly pay increases, a reduced 32-hour work week, a shift back to traditional pensions, the elimination of compensation tiers and a restoration of cost-of-living adjustments (COLA), among other items on the table including enhanced retiree benefits and enhanced vacation and family leave benefits.
I hope they get it all. 32 hour work day and return to traditional pensions would be huge.
