They show up to flip burgers and pack products in warehouses for $8/hr, why wouldn’t they show up at a factory to make 3 times more ?
I think the key is in economies of scale. If America made a decision to become the world’s factory again, where automation produced 5 times the product using 2 times the current number of workers we could have high paying jobs and fill not only our own store shelves but the world’s.
Amen. Fantastic post.
