'Screwing in little screws' drew many funny comments on Bluesky - the more these guys speak in public the more support for the resistance. Perhaps these are the jobs planned for children in red states (14 year olds in Florida).

Yep, weтАЩre bringing back all the jobs that pay poorly, require little training or education, and are repetitive and monotonous. Woo hoo!

Man. I was a first generation college student and I was so relieved and happy to escape the factory town where I grew up.

IтАЩm all for good jobs that pay well and allow people to provide for their families without an advanced degree. But when I look at the attacks on higher education, research, and public health, I see a very different goal for our country: factory jobs for everyone except for our billionaire oligarchs.
