@Axeroberts yea but not like back in the day ,robots build so much now
and repairmen are not in demand either ,things are so cheap built
even a simple heater you need to be an electronics tech not a repairman
I can fix almost anything ,rewind motors ,build engines ,fabricate ,
do custom diesels ,and repair most problems with a TV too ,build computers and laptops ,but there is no where near the service places there used to be
I turned our local TV repair shop into a pawn shop ,not enough money for him to need a big building ,he works at home in his garage ,does more satellite TV ,then TV repair
I have an AC just needed a starter condenser ,I had to order one on-line
Commercial AC men around but no one had parts for a window unit or a portable ,
We have 2 appliance repairmen in a decent size city ,but they have very few parts ,why buy a timer for a washer for $125.00 when you can buy a nicer machine for $75.00 thats all I am saying ,its not like in the day
And no auto plant has people on it ,bottling lines ,processing plants ,they even have a robot that can make Pizza now ,,Robot surgery
Even the coal mines ,its done with machines now ,they need men who can run a machine now ,not swing a pick ax
and we want more tech ,,we have not learned out lesson yet
