This article reads a bit too triumphal for my tastes. Factory towns and globalized industrialization have a dark side. Certainly this story can’t all be roses?



Do you hold tea in your mouth until it tastes bad, too? Things have good and bad sides. Be mindful of each on its own time.


I'd wager that living in a factory town beats starving to death in a countryside hovel.

Even in modern day industrial towns and gigafactories, a lot of the criticism is coming from external forces; the workers are often happy to have a job and make any money at all.
