@fedops @jhankins The idea of a jeans factory in the sense that exists now, producing millions of units with the intent that most be thrown away for tax writeoffs and most of the rest worn a few times and thrown away, is obsolete anyway if we want a world that will continue to be livable.
Imagine instead though that labor were about developing and operating manufacturing technology to produce only what's wanted on demand, materials that last and that can be efficiently reclaimed when they don't, etc.
Instead of jobs to convince & manipulate people to shop for garbage.
