Excellent point and post, @jadnashuanh.
I actually have had the privilege of touring Spartanburg when I did my PCD last year.
Two things stood out to me from the announcement, first that I hadn't thought of the people vs production increase, and second, that I didn't realize (or recall) there being that large number of employees despite the automation.
As for education, that is good advice for today's youngsters. I'd rather be programming robots than doing their work as a grunt
I am 32 and dropped out of high school, but I do ok. Not working at McD's
