I'm a Detroit kid who grew up with that assembly line mentality: You go to work to make money.

Honda opened its first assembly line in Lincoln in November 2001.

But when you find someone working on the assembly line at General Motors is making more than a Detroit policeman, you see that support start to decline.

The invisibility of work and workers in the digital age is as consequential as the rise of the assembly line and, later, the service economy.

Doing a TV show, you're on an assembly line and it's as cut and dry as that. There are some shows that are exceptions. There are producers that want really special things.

It was exactly an assembly line. You could look into infinity down these rows of drawing tables.
