U.S. Secretary of Commerce: "The ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids."

There were generations of people working factory jobs.

There were also elevator operators, people that made horseshoes, the man who opened the curtains at the movie theaters. Maybe we will bring them back too.

They can eat a dikk that's not happening

 

[Buckeye Fever]

As someone who works in a factory, I just say do what you gotta do to eat, but I wouldn't recommend factory work. Depending on the size of your family, you might have to work a good amount of overtime(I hate overtime). Then when you get used to all those OT checks, work suddenly slows down, now you're back to them regular 40hr/wk checks.

What do y'all suggest? College? Unless you STEM you barely making it with a college degree. Plenty of broke college students out there.


Is manufacturing the right way? I don't know. But if they're paying $70k - $80k with no need to go into debt, it's a win.

College students don’t stay broke.

Most college students get decent jobs eventually.

We do not have the infrastructure to make this anything close to a reality and you still need robotics engineers and skilled software engineers. This is a lie full stop to placate the masses who are starting to smell bullshyt.

Terrible as a result of the bigotry that is Brexit

Brexit could have been done in a much better way instead of running on the fear of immigration.

Which is what I see u all going through almost a decade later.

Notice i did use the English reference of Oliver Twist
Because I know what I'm talking about.

What the fukk are you laughing at bum

You described a plantation setup..

 

[DetroitEWarren]

What was that and where are the factories?

We have the land, capital, man power and access to raw materials to compete with China or anyone else in all facets of manufacturing.

Our politicians sold off all our real jobs and now Americans think you either have to go to college, become an entrepreneur, or a criminal in order to have a nice stable life (see the retard above me) and this country was not set up to operate like that.

So what resources do we have here you stupid ass cornball ass white ass bytch nikka?

Name the resources we have here?

Outside of oil, what fukking resources do we provide the world? Name just 3 of them, but h ass nikka.

So e nikkas who don't know what the fukk they are talking about should just shut the fukk up for good. nikkas like me would shut you up immediately.

But go ahead and make me 3 resources we have in America in abundance. fukkin fakkit ass nikka.

They tryan turn you all and your generations in to chimney sweeps on some Oliver Twist flex.

Do not fall for it

You see it too.

Most of them jobs leave damaging results to the physical form.

Like why in the hell would a person with credentials work as a line worker?

Why the fukk would somebody that's damn near broken as it is, work 14 hours for billionaire cacs to chew and spit them out?

Plus the wages are not even explained. So let's say the factory gigs pop out like the 50s, and the pay wage is like 15 tops. Then you got to factor in the expenses, living conditions, family woes, and so forth.

The difference between the 50s and now is that the country was going into a boom period, while this country going into the fukking shythouse.

Tired of these old geezer fukks with this train of thought wanting people to take these cogwheel gigs and have the Pikachu face when those exact same cogs run strikes and so forths because of inhumane conditions.

You make it sound easy. Just toughen up right? Reading reddit and social media in general, shyt is big tough.

Even if they do get a job, they making $50k starting and that's not enough in today's economy with 40 racks over your head. Ain't no OT either, so you stuck trying to move up or job hop.

It really depends on where you are.

Some places have cheap land and resources to balance out the shytty economy.

It's all in searching and money management, which most folks especially Reddit cacs fail to embrace.

You see these posts about feeling defeated, but the next post you see the groceries they buy and the limited edition Master Chief helmet that they just post.

Hell, r/stupidfoods alone is depressing in itself seeing struggle meals that are just stupid as hell to begin with, when you can just flip tuna and make tuna casserole for 2.99.

The a$$holes trying to push this can do the job since they want factories so badly

Breh I been there and done that, won't go back. When I used to help out folks get gigs by doing their resumes, one dude was like I'm not going back to Lowes warehouse.

Like nobody in their right mind in 2025 going to do a job that requires 14 hours of constant standing on feet, pushing shyt, and dealing with machinery that would shred you the fukk up.

Hell, I remember one time I almost got crushed to death by a shyt load of packages in Fed Ex.

Pardon my civil black identifying tongue but "nikka please"

As much as y'all shout bootstraps, I am not trying to hear this.


It depends on the degree, it's not hard to understand. Someone with a degree in Nursing will find a job much easier than someone with a Degree in History. And the former will make more money and have a much higher ceiling. All the proof is in the numbers.

There's a lot of college graduates out there struggling to find a job, and some of the ones that do are making $45k.
