I can’t imagine that it is good for morale either. Most people probably don’t enjoying doing the same boring thing over and over for 40+ years. Also, when one is forced to endure such repetition, one can easily become careless.

Answer #2

As democrats would probably say, it eliminated many jobs.

Answer #3

Quality control became more difficult with the assembly line.
