I think I agree with you. Technology and work and work-PRODUCT have changed a lot in my lifetime and your “industrial” connection is shorthand for a worker ACTUALLY producing a tangible product. It’s very unfortunate that today’s societal connection with ‘product’ is banging out stuff on a computer actual ‘product.’
This country doesn’t PRODUCE anything anymore except middleman reports, paperwork and overrated ‘coding’.
The world is about to find out about it with what Musk is doing with Twitter. Most of those leftist Tweeper (as they call themselves) leeches had no business pulling in a paycheck, IMO.
Twitter is the example of something bloated that not only provides no value, it was providing the opposite of value. (Opinion of a non-Twitter user)
I think Musk is a whack-job, but...history is full of accomplished whack-jobs who did great things, and I think he is one of them.
Besides, he is torturing people who I regard as enemies, and he does seem genuinely concerned with freedom of speech.
Unless of course, you work for him, but...that should be the case in any way, IMO...
Agree!!
