YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Between the low cost of foreign labor and automation, American jobs are at risk. Instead of blaming Big Business and globalization, people have blamed the American worker for being lazy and entitled.

In this episode of Fake Focus Group, our phony proctor Sameer presents a group of workers with a plan to make them more efficient. Introducing “Clocking In,” a way to monitor employee productivity using a “chain” wrist band. And in case sleep is an issue, Sameer shows off a fictitious new drug called “C-esta!” that gives employees the ability to keep working without sleep. Do our groups of real Americans these products will make them competitive enough to keep jobs at home? Let’s find out.
