It is still very hard to outsource or automate a plumber or electrician..

So glad we went from a manufacturing country to a service industry country, aren’t you?

[Uncle Miltie]

Never mind AI.

They’ll replace you with 4 Indians who cost 10% each of what you earn. They’ll think “it’s good enough”.

Technology and the drive for automation will prove to be the bane of our society. Mark my words.

Type in "Syrian Civil War" into Kensho and you'll get a number of data sets showing how major assets like oil and currencies reacted to events in the conflict, Popper reports. The minutes-long search "‘would have taken days, probably 40 man-hours, from people who were making an average of $350,000 to $500,000 a year," says Nadler.

Man, I'm in the wrong profession.

The jaws of the “Technology Trap” get tighter and tighter.

Also, good carpenters, painters, and contractors to help coordinate these skilled workers.

Same with good head chefs and sous chefs, winemakers and their cellar masters.

Good independent auto repair shops with good licensed repair people.

In fact, many worthless degree holders can be real negatives in the above fields.

You used the word ‘good’ too many times.

I am micro-aggressed against.

[Scrambler Bob]

Computers don’t poop, eat, or care if their building is painted.

We just need to knock off the parasite humans.

[Grampa Dave]

Old great one.

Please help me!

We just need to knock off the parasite humans.

That appears to be the goal of the rats and the GOPe!
