[ExI] undercover at Walmart

[Brian Atkins]

Bill, there is nothing magical and wonderful about "making stuff" any more than 
there was about being a farm worker in the 19th century.

"Making stuff" is well on its way to being highly automated and/or shifted to 
other means of cheaper and more efficient production (China, etc.) just as 
farming did previously.

For anyone affected by this, it's time to find other kinds of jobs, not pine 
wistfully for a reversion back to the "golden old days".
