I would consider factory work if it paid a liveable wage and I didn't have other options.

I started out asking myself, what would it take for American's to be okay with factory work. For example, my grandfather worked in a GM plant in Kansas City for most of his life. I mean he had started out wearing suits and doing books for a bank when he was young and fresh out of high school.

And then I remembered, oh yeah, the Great Depression happened when he was young and he was let go from his bank job — the bank folded. When the decent paying factory job at an auto assembly plant eventually came along he probably jumped at it.

  • Yep, and that’s what they’re doing. They’re wrecking the economy so much that factory jobs might look desirable to some people.
