INDUSTRY ON PARADE MEDICAL GUINEA PIGS WOODEN TOYS GAS PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION 63224b

“Industry On Parade was a television series created by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) from 1950-1960. The series consisted of weekly episodes that highlighted American manufacturing and business. Hundreds of companies and products were documented during the [program’s] decade-long run.” This 1956 episode (no. 305) starts with a look at Abbott Laboratories using human “guinea pigs” for pharmaceutical and medical research. At the company’s Chicago, IL clinic, male volunteers are injected with something to test a new salve developed by the company. Two men receive certificates showing their membership in the “Guinea Pig Club.” A mother puts the Abbott Laboratories salve on her son’s skinned arm. In the next segment, Women assemble wood toys at the American Manufacturing company in Falconer, NY (02:04). A woman uses a wood jig to hold wooden parts in place during assembly. A man pours wood pieces into a wooden tumbler to smooth the pieces (03:07). Wooden carts and dollies are used to haul wood. Footage shows various men and women making the toys, including one man making a wooden toy car. Next, viewers are taken to Pottsville, PA where women make soft shirt collared shirts at the Philip-Jones Corporation’s plant (05:29). Women sew wrinkle-proof collars onto shirts. The shirts are then ironed, folded, and placed in plastic wrappers for resale (07:10). The episode’s final segment shows the construction of a pipeline ditch near Gallup, NM by the El Paso National Gas Company (08:24). An archeologist is on site and walks along the trench to look for examples of early civilizations. The archeologist and a Navajo assistant drive a truck to a rocky mound and examine what ends up being an old Pueblo settlement (09:50). Men excavate the settlement and find a metate (used for grinding corn and making cornmeal). The camera shows a closeup shot of some of the artifacts found at the site.

Everything's made over in China now. P. S. I like the live cards they use to open each segment. That's some really nice looking artwork. And it ties into what that segments going to be about.

The US salary requirement is mostly to blame. as well as predatory price gouging on needs like real estate in various locations reinforcing the cost of living being high. Even if we could just reduce the salaries, not enough people in the US are motivated for advancements as much as personal endeavors at cost. E.g. look how people are villainizing AI despite it saving a ton of time and effort on creative enterprises simply cause people want to personally control the market of artwork through arbitrary means as "human made". which only increases the cost of production for hubris. Thus why many industries end up being outsourced. It's kind of bitter sweet though as if effort is the only thing preventing people from making a good living, then that's an easy obstacle to overcome.

We should use all our useless prison inmates for medical experiments.

The problem is not all people in prison are as heinous as some of the people who seem to get free passes on crimes committed. Have a plant in your pocket? 30 to life, carry around an assault weapon screaming and threatening people in a public store because of "Secund Mendmunt rights"... a bit of community service and possibly a medal of honor.... Fix the crime to punishment ratio and maybe we won't have more people on the OUTSIDE who we wish could be guinea pigs than those on the inside... who were just setting a particular plant on fire and inhaling it... and not the other plant that is for some reason PERFECTLY LEGAL...
