I thought these folks wanted more manufacturing jobs in this country?
He's right. Society owes him. If it wasn't for the racist, fascist, corporate forces working against him, he would be living in a state of financial bliss and self-actualization.

These aren't manufacturing jobs.
How someone can make fun of horrible working conditions is pathetic:

The place is immense. Cold, cavernous. Silent, despite thousands of people quietly doing their picking, or standing along the conveyors quietly packing or box-taping, nothing noisy but the occasional whir of a passing forklift. My scanner tells me in what exact section—there are nine merchandise sections, so sprawling that there's a map attached to my ID badge—of vast shelving systems the item I'm supposed to find resides. It also tells me how many seconds it thinks I should take to get there. Dallas sector, section yellow, row H34, bin 22, level D: wearable blanket. Battery-operated flour sifter. Twenty seconds. I count how many steps it takes me to speed-walk to my destination: 20. At 5-foot-9, I've got a decently long stride, and I only cover the 20 steps and locate the exact shelving unit in the allotted time if I don't hesitate for one second or get lost or take a drink of water before heading in the right direction as fast as I can walk or even occasionally jog. Olive-oil mister. Male libido enhancement pills. Rifle strap. Who the fu** buys their paper towels off the internet? Fairy calendar. Neoprene lunch bag. Often as not, I miss my time target.
Working for a living isn't much fun, usually, but an amazing number of people think it should be. Production work is mind-numbing, which is why it's hard to get people to do it. Just like you don't see folks lining up to do masonry work in the summertime.
Very interesting article. If you didn't know any better you'd think that was the life of a Chinese wage slave.
The only thing missing there are the live in dormitories.
