> Few want to work on farms or in factories under harsh conditions for low wages
My family history is a lengthy record of sacrifice so that future generations wouldn't need to do that kind of work. Part of that sacrifice was emigrating to countries with better opportunities, including America.
Who will still be here to implement any reindustrialization scheme involving low-end labor? What's in that for a kid with a work ethic and a head on their shoulders when the burden for moving elsewhere is online paperwork and a plane ticket instead of tall ships and wagon trains?
