I'm starting strength training with my daughters so they can become floor supervisors and get those $10 extra for the company store!

But seriously it's so sad it almost becomes funny that elected leaders want us to go back to the early 19th century.
 
Sounds good. We're always going to have tons of unskilled people in the workforce who need a way to make a living wage.

Most of you getting the vapors over this probably don't work anyway and don't understand what it meant when we started losing those blue collar jobs.
 
Yeah it doesnt get much more "CEO's of big corporations are your betters and the shareholder/donor class is entitled to your entire life worth of labor" than this does it?

I used to work at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, not a bad gig for someone fresh out of HS. It was next to the brewery and I remember people saying: "Yeah you dont get a job at the brewery unless you're related to someone, or you k ow someone and they die." My immediate thought was "who would want to work there until they die?" Smelled pretty terrible, and likely only a "good job" because they were Unionized.

Permanent underclass status. This also an admission of why they want to dismantle public education. You dont need to be literate to know how to work in a factory, so bring yo kidz!!

Study up on the Curtis Yarvin vision of the US, if you havent already. It's a wonderful, heartwarming, endearing landscape of Technocratic CEO overlords each with their own territory, complete with an underclass of laborers born into serfdom. And of course, just to put a cherry on top, the CEO's are all from the same racial demographic.

Yeah

Jobs of the Past: tech worker, STEM graduate, medical researcher
Jobs of the Future: auto factory, coal miner, factory farm seasonal worker

Precisely the sort of jobs that our grandparents and/or parents worked and complained about every night while saving for their kids to go to college someday

it's clear that these Monopoly Men didn't understand the economy before they started fucking it up.

I didn't know you were an admirer of the Soviet Union. This is a line straight out of their system's playbook.

They declared "unskilled" people are always going to exist. So the state determined if people were unskilled or not and kept them confined to jobs with baseline quotas. History displayed to us that it was problematic for various reasons but I'll digress.
