Yeah, very rarely do tradespeople get rich, but most I know live very, very comfortably, don’t have insane hours or overtime, unless they provide emergency services, which usually pay insanely by the hour, have absolute job security. One of my son’s buddies is an Electrical engineer. He quit his job at a corpo, took the certification exam, and became an electrician. Makes way more that as an engineer, and has much higher QOL.
Not once some damn startup funded by people like this idiot start an app and through shady practices drive out all the independent tradesmen and make it a gig job.
they try, but all it means is that the shit workers end up blowing up houses and the good workers make some extra pocket money for christmas before fucking off back to their real employers.
Nah, that ain’t trying. When they actually try it’ll involve billions and billions of dollars in startup funding so that the companies can lose money for a good decade long enough to actually drive everyone else out of business. That there is amateur hour.
Ain’t nobody safe from the horrors of capitalism. Ever. It can always be ripped away. If your instance is any indication you should know that better than any.
Does this idiot know what trades make? He’s trying to denigrate blue collar, but sparkies and plumbers make miiiint

My brother-in-law did this and has become a locksmith. He has a great future ahead of him creating YouTube drama with lock companies.
Downside is your apprenticeship is having to eat insane amounts of shit

Might happen in the US. Won’t happen in any country where unions are functional.

no shit dude. But a key part of that process is destroying unions, hence my proviso any country where unions are functional.
