Inside a moped factory - GIF

It is a popular belief that we want to bring manufacturing back to the USA. Yet, I would not want to assemble mopeds 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.

When I see modem manufacturing around Phoenix, it is mostly a person with a GED feeding CNC machines with stock. This job would be even less satisfying to me.

I’ve also toured an Amazon distribution center and seen people reading screens and moving boxed into computers controlled shelving for 3 hours at a time. The pay, benefits, and working conditions looked good but it is rough on the body and mind. No thanks.

So what does a modern factory job look like in the future USA? Do we really pine for the old time factory pay but not the work?

... snipped...

Let's see, what would it take to bring manufacturing stuff like scooters back to the USA...

Convince government to discard all those worker safety and environmental protection laws

Create a system of country wide rent and food price controls so low paid workers could live under a roof and eat occasionally

Redesign the education system so a high school graduate actually knew some math and had at least elementary literacy

Outlaw smart phones and social media

...Probably a few more I haven't thought of


Yeah sure, bring on the flying pigs.
