I worked at Triumph Foods in Northern Missouri for 7 years (moved to better job in late 2021) they could do about 28,000 hogs in a day. USDA is there and if you even touch a hog instead of directing it with the rattles or flags, your ass is gone. Same if you fail to use the "stunner" to kill in one shot. Mostly they used a gas chamber to kill all the hogs. Stunners were used to kill hogs that were panicked. I can't imagine how small those plants are to get away with something like that. At the big plants they just treat the immigrants and other workers like disposable people/property instead of torturing pigs.

I worked at a bigger pork plant in Missouri and stuff not allowed by guidelines but pushed through anyway is the problem. Stuff like immigrants chewing and Spitting this "beatlenut" which is some kind of tobacco product the Bermamiese loved even though it's banned. People just using chew in general. Stuff falls on the floor and can be washed off by certified workers. Also they hold stuff in freezers for a very long time. At employee meat sales you could get stuff a year old. Workers just keep hitting the bypass button on the xray machine from what I heard as well.

Most of it is just workers bypassing rules and other parts are supervisors not seeing things that would technically throw out a huge load of product. Luckily there are people that do care and will tag product so it can't ship when they spot stuff USDA and QSFA workers do stop alot of bad product from hitting the market. But I' had a roommate who was qsfa and he was former military and took his job deadly serious he tagged alot of stuff and never backed down from a yelling supervisor because they will yell and weedle to get a pass (their bonuses are based on product moved). They bounced his ass out of there because he wouldn't bend on the rules.

thats not really a valid answer, only so many people can take the job of putting other people out of jobs. Once that is full up, you just continue to have a minor middle class, working to put the rest of the working class out of business so to say, and keep the upper % of society even farther apart from everyone else. That is a horrid depressing answer.

I still think the answer is bullshit but to full expand, we do know some service industries are going to still most likely be able to fill demands, entertainment is always there. ie. people like Penny Arcade, Nostalgia Critic, AVGN, etc. were able to carve out media niches for themselves. Comedians are getting a more active scene with more tools then ever.

I see entertainment as another industry that will continue to supply jobs in the future.

As well as jobs in government, lawyers, congressmen, someone has got to keep taking that money to vote how those with money want you too.

if the sex industry ever becomes legal, though I imagine sex robots would be one of the first things to come out...so maybe scratch that lol.
