The answer is yes according to this video.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, and I have all kinds of questions.
- When did we stop putting monkeys to work?
- Exactly how are monkeys a communist threat?
- When did we have button-pushing factories? Will they hire my brother?
The past is so weird.

To answer your questions:
1. Monkeys are still being hired
2. Monkeys all work for the same pay – bananas. It is a threat to the capitalistic way of life.
3. Between 1964 and 1969 we had at least one push button factory. I worked in it. I felt like a monkey
The only thing that separates man from monkey’s is that we’ve stopped throwing our own feces at each other— I think??
@Fran I love that monkeys are communists. Hilarious.
@MattyMat I dunno. John Boehner throws feces.
I stand corrected.
Computers are mini push-button factories – (3)! Workday on a computer is just a series of mouse and keyboard clicks… in today’s world the workforce replacement is done via outsourcing — answer to (1) and (2).
Was Fox News behind this?
When I was working in newspapers, many many careers ago, I had a crusty old editor that used to grumble, “Even a trained monkey can draw boxes on a page.”
He was referring to the newspaper’s “newfangled” pagination system, a primitive version of Quark. It was usually in conjunction with complaints about pushing deadline.
