Comment on U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids

For life? Someone is delusional.

Maybe for 5 years, at most. Humans need food. Humans need breaks. Automated assembly machines? 24/7 production, no annual leave, no insurance plans, and no unionizing.

The up-front cost is much higher, but it’s cheaper in the long run. Good luck keeping that factory job long enough to have kids, let alone pass it down to them.
