He would probably be pissed about the asbestos and dingy conditions that he had to work in compared to todays assembly line workers. hell assembly line work has changed a ton just in my lifetime. My old man was alive to see the first deuce, he was born in the '20s but he didn't start working a full time job till the middle to late '30s. I think he was 16 when he started working in the ship yards. he died in '03 and there was no way he would have lied to be 100, he was a mechanic and machinist before the war and until he was well into his 70s. Poor working conditions, solvents that are no longer legal and just a hard life in general took its toll on his health.
