I really wonder if we could even pull that off again in this age. These weren't burger flippers...they were HIGHLY skilled ladies....and armies of them.Every time I see how things were done in that era I am amazed. It's not just the intricate and labor-intensive steps, but the sheer scale at which all of it was done in spite of that.
Notice that no one is saying that it is impossible to find people to do it. The question is would it scale? What if you needed to expand your production to 100x what it currently is (and everyone else needed to do the same) for this kind of work?I have employees in my shop that do this kind of tedious precision work. They are not illegal, they get paid real well, and they do it right.
I could spend $1M on a fine Swiss Rube Goldberg machine to do the job, but I'd never earn the cap costs back.
No. I'd invest in a Swiss machine.Notice that no one is saying that it is impossible to find people to do it. The question is would it scale? What if you needed to expand your production to 100x what it currently is (and everyone else needed to do the same) for this kind of work?
