Kenya's tea pickers are destroying the machines replacing them - Lemmy.world

Ahh s**t here we go again!

Seriously this happened in industrial revolution pretty often 200 years ago.

The luddites! They smashed weaving looms in England.
Unfortunately this still happens new technology, scientific research. Look into "golden rice" fields were destroyed because some disinformation about GMO.
But this is very different. It's a company from a rich country replacing workers from a pot country with machines. No benefits for the people.
These machine might require repair from time to time, so a mechanic will be required. Maybe also a driver, etc.
