Is this supposed to be mocking workers? Am I supposed to be angry that Americans would potentially be placed into positions regularly filled by Chinese or other foreign workers?
No humans should toil for a pittance. The fact that we are okay with it when it’s overseas is bad enough. The creator of this seems to be telling a cautionary tale but also mocking both the low wage factory jobs and that Americans might be “relegated” to this.
If this thing was created to make people angry, it worked.
I think it was a jab at how slow they are working. If you have ever watched industrial manufacturing they are working super fast compared to this video
It’s mocking Trump and MAGA’s fantasy. For the workers it’s providing them with work that is unpleasant, poorly paid and painful. For the factory owners it is ending up with staff that just aren’t going to be productive.
As for toiling for a pittance: Trump is trying to devalue the dollar and erode workers rights in a race to the bottom. Apart from the fact that, as others here have pointed out, the endgame would be automation the intermediary stage is pushing those in precarity and poverty into jobs that don’t benefit them in any meaningful way.
But the Chinese, being somewhat keener students of human nature, have distilled those arguments into thirty seconds of comedy gold.
