FFF#22 – Modern Times

There must be something wrong, Joe. There’s no workers here.

It’s not wrong, Mike. It’s these new drones. Much cheaper than actual people picking the cotton or even running cotton pickers or using chemicals. We can easily see when the cotton is ready to harvest, remotely. Then the drones dispense arms and bags simultaneously and load the cotton. They fly till they are fully loaded and then directly deposit it, all hands free so to speak!
