People would work factory jobs, if they were good paying jobs.

If you could own a home, afford groceries, raise a family, save for retirement, and take a modest family vacation, there would be lines out door applying for these jobs.

But these aren't the factory jobs of the 1950s, those kind of wages aren't coming back.

Yes please. Just give me job that pays me enough to live working 40 hours a week. Health insurance and an apartment without roommates. The ability to eat out on weekends. I’ll press a button for 40 hours or something.

LOL, they could come back with a few guillotines. How many filthy rich would have to die? Some assembly required.
