Recommended: American Factory on Netflix. Documentary about Fuyao glass in Dayton, OH. Created a bunch of jobs but set up a surreal culture clash. If US Japan culture clash in 80s was a 7/10, this is like 11/10.

What’s more 30% more cringe than American corporate new year entertainment? Chinese corporate new year entertainment. Also featuring a bunch of visiting Americans from Dayton doing the YMCA dance 😬

Documentary highlights how unions are at once a bizarre dinosaur construct and also apparently the onlynidea on the table for certain challenges
Deep irony in a corporation from an actual communist nation fighting unions in America

Worth noting that it was an independent documentary that the Obama's picked up after it screened at Sundance.
UAW is an interesting thread to follow through the film. Especially in contrast to the Chinese factory's "workers union" headed by the chairman's brother.

The last scene where they are walking through the new robots and how they replaced several people was a doozy
