rgsparber; you could say that every job where a person is required to punch a time clock to do the same task day in and day out is mind numbing. I know some retired autoworkers who essentially installed the same 20 bolts in vehicles 8 hours per day every day for 20 years. With each new model year, they were required to spend a couple weeks training to relearn how to install those same 20 bolts or screws in the new models. don't ask the person who installs headliner to bolt an engine to a transmission because they wouldn't have a clue or someone in charge of mounting tires to install a headlamp, I used to have an uncle who worked at General Dynamics during the F111 project he was a trouble shooter electrician. Some of the stories he would tell about how some driller Cleco installer for the riveters to fallow, would drill through a $10,000.00 electric harness because they didn't have enough sense to set a drill stop on their bits.
I'm not at all confident that the last 2 generations of a huge percentage of USA workers are even capable of being trained to do the mind-numbing repetitious work required to assemble even something as mundane as a moped.
