>Americans don't want to work jobs Wall Street propagandized them into believing can only be done for pennies by Chinese peasant labor in grueling work environments! Checkmate chuds!
@Hoss@yogthos my mom knew people that worked ar factories here and they did just fine, americans can and i think would work, and i absolutely don't believe those polls
@Hoss@yogthos this chart isn't even surprising, like most people have high aspirations. Just because 20% said they would compare to the other 80, I guarantee people would still work those jobs and be OK with it.
Bring back manufacturing jobs that pay a decent wage and people will flock to them. Men raised families on those jobs a couple generations ago. Now their descendants go into debt just to delude themselves into believing they're too good for those jobs while ironically often getting paid less.
Trve currentyear leftist praxis is when you support the capitalists moving the means of production across the world so they can go back to reaping the profit margins of Gilded Age-tier working conditions and wages.
@mischievoustomato@Hoss@yogthos I do, Americans were told all those jobs were gone forever and they should just go to college, now they have degrees and would rather get higher paying jobs in their fields than in factories that might maybe one day come back?
Also lmao at a USSR fanboy shittalking factory work.
@Hoss@monkey@yogthos also one of my previous jobs was like this. Assembly line for something and the workers were underpaid migrants from different parts of the world with 3 languages on the floor, racial animosity between demographics....and most importantly bloat.
We were diagnosing failed products but we had to send them to a team of Mexicans who were there "just to do that" fix and sometimes they would pretend to work. That was a fun one.
@Hoss@yogthos I don't think most people realize that most factory work is automated even in China. They think of the early industrialization of America. It wouldn't be terrible work but you have to bring the market in first.
@Hoss@yogthos I work in American factory IT and it is actually somewhat fun. I never complained about getting a little dirty or having to do manual labor to move shit around the floor. At least the things I worked on manifested in reality unlike the vast majority of tech companies. When I get to play with a PLC and see a machine move off a command I gave it, or I pull a litany of counter tags from a quarter million dollar piece of equipment, it feels "real". Even though I work remote in an ivory tower now on architecture/infosec, I still insist on visiting plants when I have spare time so I can remind myself of this.
Not at all. Cubicle jobs are the same as the shitty "busywork" a bitchy math teacher would give. It's not doing anything of meaning so you can be emotionally blackmailed by a boss and team who does less to do more "work", which isn't real and doesn't make you happy or get you anywhere. Factory is labor. It is physically impossible to not feel fulfilled after literally producing what is hopefully a good product. Labor vs. "As per my last email" simulator is very different.
>Character's entire job revolves around helping a soulless corporation avoid taking responsibility for faulty products that they know are killing people. >"Why is this character miserable? I don't get it." Zoomie was only giving the kino a fraction of his attention while he scrolled his phone, no doubt.
The neat thing about bar charts is that they're very easy to use in deceptive ways that make it seem like whatever asinine point you're trying to make is backed up by some kind of empiricism, even when it isn't.
@Hoss@yogthos>B-but we'd have to pay our workers more, improve working conditions, and my god.....give them a better work life balance! And that means my heckin line on the chart wont go up as fast!!!
People don't really WANT to work in a factory all day, but they do it out of need. They do provide more jobs and higher standard of living generally but there still are risks. The main benefit is it has a direct impact on the local economy and you have total control of the supply chain. Producing local is the most efficient way to process a good and make sure you produce something high quality.
>Workers' rights, environmental regulations and reigning in the concentration of wealth among the 1% are all very important to me, so let's tolerate corporations taking the manufacturing abroad where all three of those things can be ignored completely! Y'know, it's actually not very surprising that this somehow makes sense to people who believe men can be women.
@Hoss@shitpost.cloud @monkey imagine being so dumb that you can't understand that capitalists aren't interested in paying you a decent wage. You don't own the means of production dummy, the means of production aren't even in your shithole country anymore. And they're not coming back.
@Hoss@monkey@yogthos i haven't seen him speak a word in russian for someone who put "made in USSR" in his bio почему так? по какой причине, а самое главное какого хуя?
Domestic manufacturing started being sold off wholesale in the 80's because the boomers were sold on the short-term economic gains that came at the expense of gutting major domestic industry. If you understand how boomers get scammed into reverse mortgaging their homes, it's not hard to understand how or why they effectively did it to the entire country. If this is something you struggled to comprehend, it's not because you're a smart person who figured out a particularly nuanced puzzle. You're just retarded.
@yogthos@monkey You are literally this meme. After the revolution you think you will be teaching kids how to change their gender or poetry. If you aren't shot you'll be slave labor stupid.
@Hoss@yogthosTo be fair, I've actually seen some shitlibs who are strongly against corporations moving their manufacturing to another country, but they still can't seem to wrap their heads around why importing infinite waves brown people is a bad thing.
Don't you think it's amazing that in so little time, the leftoids that in the past cared about coal workers, factory workers and other tough jobs in order to improve their working hours and wages have stopped giving a shit about them and they only care about service jobs because that's the jobs the majority of leftoids take?
@Hoss@professionalbigot69@yogthosA *lot* of people are, people you wouldn't think would do so. A disturbing amount of "White Nationalists" simp for big business directly or indirectly.
People that really, REALLY need to unlearn the idea that "libertarianism and/or capitalism = good". People that really are that one quote about Americans:
"Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires"
Granted, the guy saying that (John Steinbeck) would never agree to *NATIONAL SOCIALISM*, but the latter half of the quote still seems to hold true.
