Yep. My FIL and BIL both had GMC assembly-line jobs. (BIL is 20 years older than my spouse, early Boomer vs early GenX.) They didn’t enjoy them, but they were/are both more financially stable than we are!

This is a major reason why I, a dual citizen, never considered US jobs as a young person: my mid-1990s cancer diagnosis, which in Canada merely prevents me from getting cheap insurance to pay the mortgage if I die, would've stopped me getting ANY health insurance coverage in the US. Had I lived >

Yes! I remember we were all very fond of Pat Borders back in the day.
