Did you know people still type? You have to type to code? We still use the QWERTY keyboard and everything? Did you know that people can get paid a LOT OF MONEY to write code?

The only thing that has changed from this photo is the machine you are typing on.

Gardner claims to have "a degree" in computer programming, and now wires houses. He claimed to have gotten "a degree" in computer programming just to know "his enemy."

What he is claiming does not make much sense, but I do not have the time to figure out where his deception is.

Like Henry Ford learned, the more tedious and repetitive the job, the more you have to pay people to do it, and the duller the people needed.

Is that the only reason Ford gave?

Henry Ford implemented higher wages for his workers through the introduction of the $5 workday in 1914, which was significantly higher than what was offered by competing automakers at the time. There were several strategic reasons for this decision:

  1. Reduce Worker Turnover: The work in Ford's factories was repetitive and physically demanding, leading to high turnover rates. By offering a higher wage, Ford reduced the turnover, which in turn decreased the costs associated with hiring and training new employees.
  2. Increase Productivity: Higher wages motivated workers to work harder and more efficiently. Ford believed that better-compensated workers would be more productive, which was crucial for his assembly line system where speed and consistency were key.
  3. Stabilize Workforce: A stable workforce meant less disruption on the production line, which was vital for maintaining the pace of assembly line production. The $5 day helped Ford to keep experienced workers, reducing the learning curve for new employees.
  4. Consumer Market Expansion: Ford's philosophy included the idea that workers should be able to afford the products they produce. By paying his workers more, he was essentially creating a market for his cars among his own employees, aligning with his vision of mass production and consumption.
  5. Publicity and Morale Boost: The $5 day was not only about economics but also about public relations. It garnered significant positive attention, positioning Ford Motor Company as a progressive employer and boosting employee morale, which indirectly contributed to productivity.
  6. Alleviate Labor Unrest: At the time, labor movements were gaining strength, and there were increasing demands for better wages and working conditions. By preemptively raising wages, Ford could mitigate potential labor unrest that could disrupt production.

These factors combined to make the $5 workday a landmark decision that not only benefited Ford's business model but also had a significant impact on labor practices in the United States. However, it's worth noting that the wage increase came with conditions, such as moral conduct requirements, which were part of Ford's broader philosophy on labor management.
