This. They're not nostalgic for the factory. They're frustrated that--unlike their parents/grandparents--they can't afford to live in a "nice" house in a "nice" neighborhood, get married, raise kids on one income, and retire comfortably at 65 *unless* they also take on mountains of student loan debt
When (some) people talk about bringing back manufacturing, they mean "bring back steel & auto jobs that someone can take right out of high school, and live a middle class life"
The worst part of this is that even if manufacturing jobs came back because of this (they won’t)
and even if Americans retooled for those jobs (they won’t) those jobs sucked! It’s like demanding to return to being a farming society. People fled that life the instant they could, in the millions!
