There's a reason Henry Ford paid his employees enough to buy one of his cars.

It is a myth that it was so they could afford one of his cars.

The reality is that he couldn’t attract the right workers because factory work is sole destroying.

And that's why he paid them in shoes.
Actually sitting - or even standing - at an assembly line station is sole conserving.
