A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Electrical, plumbing, HVAC are all pretty solid.

You aren't outsourcing it. AI can't take it. It's manual labor.

People will pay a lot to keep shit from flowing into their house.

Heh no. All of those are being automated and dumbed down.

In a few years all you'll need is an unskilled labourer and a robot.

We've seen robots struggling to handle picking up boxes for like a decade now. They're still struggling with that. Tight spaced delicate movements isn't in the near future, yet.

Transportation is going to be the first industry majorly replaced by automation, not the trades.
