Here's the problem with that DG, it has nothing to do with glamorousness of a part. You get to a point where there simply is no way to make an item significantly cheaper except to either a)lower safety standards or wages, or b)make it with a machine. There's just no margin left on an item like an SS badge. You can't even do that work at minimum wage and make it work. And the US isn't number 1 in robotics so who will make the robot to make the SS badge? Probably Korea. There's no fantastic engineering breakthrough to be made at this level. I'm not even talking union wages-I'm saying 7.15 an hour is going to be hard to justify to make some products.
