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 😬

Why are unions consolidated across an industry? I was surprised to see UAW in a suppliers plant. Wouldn't a union be better suited if they specialized (ie, glass or supplier)? Couldn't be by company, distribution across companies helps prevent any single employer from corrupting.
