U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids
“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.
I feel like this is relevant to the sub. If not, feel free to remove.
Sounds like slavery.
A caste system at the very least
Yeah, bet this guy doesn't go to the factory floor when his term is over.
You will slave for your neo-feudal overlords or you'll be sent to prison, where you'll slave for your neofeudal overlords.
Or you'll die. That's okay too.
That's what public education trains young minds to be. Builders and maintainers of the infrastructure.
...Which is not the worst thing in the world if they're treated and compensated fairly.
But they won't be, of course.
So pensionplan and healthcare for life right? You gonna roll back the rules we want the benefits.
Serfs get the benefit of living in a hovel on their lord's manor so long as they continue to work to expand their lord's fortune.
Or if they're not willing to do that, they get the benefit of a burial.
living in a hovel
That's more than I've got.
what benefits? the streets had to be painted red with communist and syndicalist blood for us to have it.
Best we can do is 1099 with pre-ACA "swiss cheese" cover healthcare including pre-existing conditions. As for retirement savings, we'll place 1% of your salary into our the trump memecoin, but it doesn't actually vest until you turn 65 so you can't sell it before hand. How does that sound?
Lol
That’s what happens when we lionize “job creators” because we think that is the same as “wealth creators”
I think I ll pass
the early 1900s are coming back with force
And he wants your children your grandchildren to start working immediately
I'm good, thanks.
I’ve worked in factories for the bulk of my life…be at your work station for a certain time, don’t be on the toilet too much, don’t talk too much, always be doing something even though you’re on target, managers or team leaders or whatever micromanaging you. It’s fucking wank.
heads in loops is the new new model.
To be fair, someone has to do it.
But not his kids or any of the administration's kids.
the people who suggest this always excuse themselves out of doing it.
Are you suggesting that you're not good at being a slave but you can be a slave master?
