I know what materialism is, what is meant by material solution? Who is implementing this supposed material solution? Why does a material cause need to be understood for a material solution to be implemented?

They can definitely hire staff, especially in the US of all places there is no shortage of promising engineers. Very few people get hired to these kinds of plants fully trained, most pick up 90% of their skills on the job. It's just a long process. The real reason, at least for our plant (a plant that has already returned all its investment dividends tenfold, passed its calculated lifespan, and is now just a money printing machine), is that there are chiefly 2 ways (3 in our country, but this isn't about that) that the plant becomes more economical to keep running: process improvements or reduction of labour costs. The sacrifice first comes for maintenance staff, overworking them, then for all other disciplines depending on whats allowed to be gutted by law. Engineers are actually making out in a relatively "favourable" position, since they can directly contribute to process improvements - the company has fewer incentives to let them go. This situation ends in there being a settled number of so-and-so engineers, which is "understaffed" according to your and mine definitions, but is the perfect amount for the line-go-up number-crunchers.

Trust me our guys aren't raring to work at all. Most of them aren't citizens and their residency status and their family's lifestyle depend on them being able to hold this job, so they feel obligated to do this. Just classic capitalism things. Also, the plant is not in Russia.

It's okay to be suspicious about MMT

Yes.

Also, I will cautiously put MSF/DWB here to see what others think. I recall people liked it, but that was a while ago and I have no idea if they have restructured their organization.

Ok I had a chance to look into it. Not a good sign... "Critics Blast ‘Inward, Technocratic’ MSF Leadership for Closing Access Campaign"

Important part

Signatories include past MSF leaders Dr Unni Karunakara (former international president), Kris Torgeson (former international secretary general), Gorik Ooms (former general director) and Dr Tido von Schoen-Angerer (former executive director of the Access Campaign).

Dr Mariângela Simão, former World Health Organization (WHO) Assistant Director-General for Access to Medicines and former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark also joined civil society organisations and health experts in their appeal to MSF.

“The planned dismantling of the Access Campaign’s core structure, capacities, expertise, and networks will reverberate across the access to medicines movement and beyond,” they write.

“It will be yet another setback to the already-shrinking patient activist and civil society space critical to holding pharmaceutical companies and governments accountable so that medicines are never a luxury.”
