“This is the new model, where you work in these plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here,” U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says.
“There’s been too much upward mobility in class in the last 100 years. You people need to know your place in society as the modern version of drudge workers. You’ll be doing this same work for your entire life, and you’ll produce children that will do your work when you die, and they’ll produce children to do the work when they die. This is perfection in society where your entire bloodline will stay in your level in life for the entirety. We, your betters, will maintain the level of aristocracy and lead this nation and assume its wealth.” - Lutnick probably
Holy fuck, I read the article and he really is trying to claim that. Replace a factory full of jobs with one or two robot techs, and “everyone” can get such a job? Does he not math?
I’m no fan of Lutnick, but equating a lifelong factory job repairing robots to indentured servitude is nutty.
Saying three generations will be factory-bound is what’s nutty. I don’t care what you call it.

This is why, when you say you’re not a fan, I don’t believe you.

Those that can’t find jobs are just supposed to die in the gutter. Literally the philosophy.
