A national embarrassment on so many levels as he defends the indefensible. I caught this statement about the 'thrilling' possibility of Americans tied to factory work, a legacy arrangement with multiple generations working for their corporate overlords while they screw tiny little screws into . . . whatever.

Think about it! We can return to corporate towns and corporate script, a womb to tomb existence.

Happy, happy days!

These people are so removed from the ordinary lives of American citizens that they really think this sort of 'job security' and certainty is what human beings desire. Forget aspirations or agency or a sense of freedom. Big Brother has the answer--a lifetime grind facilitated by billionaires.

What could go wrong?

Summer is Coming! Lamp posts are too good for these mental midgets.
