I contend that most great laborers…and there are many….eventually leave the labor pool and become management - or start their own companies of some type. When you look at it in the proper perspective, saying that Americans make bad low tier laborers is a compliment.
Americans are great at many things, but grunt labor is not one of them. People who own businesses that require that kind of labor have to understand this if they want to stay in business. I don’t see this as an anti American comment at all…..merely reality.
And that’s the thing—a crappy laborer is a crappy laborer. It’s not “unpatriotic” to say so.
