Takes a lot more people to move a ton of dirt with spoons than with a dozer. Of course each employee is not very productive so you cannot pay them much. India learned this the ha…

Uncle Milty didn't believe in the border with Mexico. Borders get in the way of the free flow of good and services - and money! Elon likes Milty. Elon is a globalist too I imagine.
