Perfect stuxnet target.

We need a draft for technical trades. Not like they’re doing anything else.

> The jobs are pretty terrible.

Not really? Factory work is hard, but generally pays well and has consistent long term demand (aka job security). Machining is skilled labor and paid like it, and factories that work with metal are far cleaner than others. Ironically, the dirtiest and most hazardous factory I've seen/worked in was a laundry soap factory, hands down. Nobody making parts that require consistent quality can just not give a fuck like that or depend on a pipeline of disposable desperate temp workers for production.

> We need robot powered factories that require 1/10th or less the manpower of a normal factory.

Do you know how a modern factory works?

In fact I can walk down the street and walk into them. None of them look like that.

There are tons of crappy grunt jobs still in the factories America has left. Outside of a few industries, it's there isn't margin to do that.

So those people all work at Walmart and McDonalds now instead?

And as others have pointed out, our factories are heavily automated but you still need humans.
