5 Reasons It’s So Hard to Sell a Frank Lloyd Wright House
So, once things start going bad, it cost an enormous amount to fix the problem and pour new concrete with lots of nice strong rebar; this is a problem specifically attributable to Wright, not the builders. 12 Facts About Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater "Fallingwater is an architectural marvel, but it still has a few major flaws. Its skylights leak, the waterfall promotes mold growth (Kaufmann nicknamed Fallingwater “Rising Mildew”), and—even worse—the builders didn’t use enough reinforcing steel to support the first floor’s concrete skeleton. Kaufmann had initial doubts about the technical feasibility of Wright's concept, and he hired consulting engineers to examine Wright's plans. They discovered that the main floor's girders needed additional reinforcement, but Wright dismissed this claim and forged ahead with construction. Over time, gravity caused the home's first floor cantilever to sag, and in 2002, the structure’s foundation was reinforced to prevent a future collapse. In the process, the first level’s stone floor and furniture had to be ripped out."

We can see the total number of jobs this automation will replace, and the total number of employees the plant will retain, which is much lower than a non-automated facility. What we cannot see is how this cost savings and release of labor will result in other unseen jobs. Many of these jobs may not even exist today. Just as factory jobs did not initially exist as tractors, combines and other mechanical devices released farmers from labor on the land so today's automation will eliminate jobs but we will not be able to see the jobs which will come in replacement. The pessimists believe no jobs will replace these lost jobs. Why this would happen for the first time in human history not one of them can explain, but they believe this fervently. 5 Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before Applying To Law School
