To add to that, many office workers that lose their career will then go get a plumbing license. There will be fewer paying clients AND more plumbers to choose from. Wages will absolutely go down for everyone if there are fewer careers available.

? Trades people in the US are making really good money right now, and that’s because

Look up the average age of plumbers, electricians, and welders. What happens when a body of knowledge living in the collective heads of an aging population gets removed from the labor pool faster than we can get younger folks interested in learning that information?

Wages are high right now, in part, because finding a highly experienced, capable tradesman is constrained by the available supply in a given geographic region.

Agreed with a lot of this, but

Yes, AI will probably not be used to replace plumbers, car mechanics, carpenters, etc.

Lots of those people did get replaced already by technology, it was just called industrialization and assembly lines. What's left now is artisan wood working and emergency repair work for plumbers and mechanics, and you can't employ all of America's blue collar workers with luxury stuff and emergencies.

Another thing that doesn't get mentioned here - if AI and self driving cars work out like they want them to, goodbye delivery work and long haul trucking, which actually is a ton of blue collar jobs. Also, self checkout machines and chatbots are eating customer service jobs that less educated workers might otherwise be doing.

The biggest portion of blue collar jobs that will be tough to automate will be everything associated with construction just because they're moving to different sites and jobs faster than it would take to get bots well trained to do that work, but if unemployment jumps and new home sales even look like they might slow down those jobs disappear fast.

My point is - if technology and labor rights get to the point the office workers are starting to feel the bite, guaranteed blue collar workers are all teeth marks by that point. Not that I would expect a CEO to talk honestly about that.

It's the classic case of capitalists not understabding where their profits come from. If enough of us get laid off, we'll remind them. Increasing exploitation only works to a point.

Strange really. Almost as if he isnt being sincere and making the world better for other people isnt his true intention.

High educated women aren't office workers though.

Propaganda here goes to 11.

Be that as it may, voting democrat doesn't change it, democrats are captured by the oligarchy, since before most of us were born. Until we fight under credible leadership we are doomed to fail.

I wanna divide and conquer their bodies from their heads!

Because the target demographic of their propaganda is aggrieved men that lack the education to smell fascism for what it is.

Will believe it? They already actively help spread the propaganda, we are in the final stages, no what if scenario needed.

Yes poors fight amonth the sexes and let us complete our domination of you.

They seem to be doing quite well at that right now, not to mention how they've set generations on one another. Gen Y and Gen Z seem to spend an awful lot of their political capital on blaming everything on the boomers and the boomers send that energy back.

Neither of them are looking up while they are doing that. Meanwhile, Gen X that have been paying attention will notice that they saw all this before when it came to boomers vs. Silent and Greatest Generations...gee, I wonder why that is?

And DEI is not going to be around to save you
