Mike Rowe has never worked a real job in his life. Silver spoon faggot who made it his career to tell you to go bust your ass. He makes some OK points but grossly over simplifies why people don't want to work some of these jobs anymore.

From your perspective, why don't people want to work these jobs ?

Because they don't feel like permanently crippling their bodies slaving away for some company? That was one of my primary reasons for exiting and staying out of the trade I was in.

Not everything in life is about money. I'm now working a desk job in the heavy equipment sector and making more than I was in a trade with better benefits. Why would I bust my ass?

Many of these jobs are necessary and for sure are not getting the recruitment they need. But it's not simply because people are lazy now like Rowe pushes. It's often because the juice doesn't feel worth the squeeze.

I’m a tradesman. The reason people don’t want to work trades is multifold.

1. They’re taught the trades are labor, lower caste jobs if you will.

2. High school counselors ignore the trades as a career path, instead pushing kids into college whether it suits them or not.

3. There is a stigma of crusty old farts hazing new people. In part that exists but lots of new apprentices have simply never been told they failed a task and need to redo it. Thin skins, they quit.

Having been a tradesman myself and have family and friends who still are, yeah these are some reasons. But not all of them are on the guy who decides he doesn't want to do it.

Firstly, I'm not totally disagreeing with you but one cornerstone of your argument seems very much about money and what money buys.

I 100% agree with the "juice isn't worth the squeeze" summary but that speaks more to motivation and ability.

If a guy making $50k/yr for a job where he's putting in hours/effort he's comfortable with in a location he's happy with and someone offers him the same job, same effort, same location for $75k/yr he's probably going to bounce to the new job unless he has some absurd loyalty to the low pay place.

I have friends and family who have been to the big city, gotten the higher paying jobs with less effort and left it all behind to return to lower paying jobs just to be back 'home' near the lakes and rivers and woods they grew up in where they're in a lifestyle that's more comfortable for them even though they can't afford a iphone or regular medical.

Not everybody has the same motivation or drive or desire for the "finer" things. Some people have the motivation and the drive but lack the ability. And some people are just plain fucking lazy and would rather live in squalor than pick up a broom for somebody else even for double the "free" money they get every month.
 
What I meant about the money thing was that usually when the trades get pushed its often accompanied by people saying you get paid really well without needing a degree but you can do something like I do that requires nothing and make more than even a trade. Niche job but there it is.

The trades issue is more multifaceted than people are just lazy and I can't stand that tool being quoted like he's some trades hero.

There's always this, for those that have never seen it before........



And yes, sorry to say, it's all real. All of the EU "leaders" were there. Not one of them got up and walked out.


They said this ceremony was to "honor" the workers who died making the tunnel - as I recall it was a handful.If I was a family member of one of those who perished making that tunnel - I would be pissed. Its been a death tunnel since anyway.
 
Building collapse because maybe dumbasses compromised the foundation by trying to tunnel under it?

.
I have been in some fast tracked computer chip factories (wafer floor design) when the coring crew hit the pre-stressed cables. The entire building shook. Engineers downgraded the structure and we had to run all floor penetrations through existing openings... A challenging project. 'The hanger collapse in Idaho appeared to lack temporary shoring and the roof caved in.
America is in trouble and most people will never know it.
 
they said it was smallpox.
Definitely in the differential but yeah, we were supposed to have gotten rid of that one. This sucks,but I"m sure they have a new mRNA vaccine ready to go.
Edit: The "new" monkeypox vaccine that lost press when abused kids started showing up with it covers smallpox (the JYNNEOS vaccine). How convenient.

Yeah…..”Honor”……..OK……

The All Seeing Eye and the “Goat” were great ways to “Honor” them…. :rolleyes:

(Not pickin’ on you 😊)
 
That was an excellent interview. That dude pulled back a lot of blinders; for me anyway.

Very observant and old school intelligent.
I like Bret, but watching him from pre covid to now is frustrating at times. It's that way with a lot of the people who think violence is never the answer. He and his brother are both very smart people, but I wonder if sometimes violence doesn't have to be met head on.

Those folks are ultimately victims of their own weakness unless someone else does their work for them.
 
supposed to have gotten rid of that one

It was claimed to have been "eliminated from the world" but not the labs. You know you gots to keep a jar of it on the shelf "just in case" you need it.

Why now? Why our open border?

What else is in Pandora's box waiting to be sprung?

CDC said:


you should get the smallpox vaccine if you are a lab worker who works with virus that causes smallpox or other viruses that are similar to it.

... When there IS a smallpox outbreak

I certainly do not follow Greta and her band of happy idiots but with her images being shotgunned across every vein of media, it is hard to not see before scrolling.

I gotta tell you, the tall her/him that is usually in her entourage spikes the shit out of my spidey senses.

I know Luisa-Marie Neubauer is a likely handler/enabler but this other one shown here is a different animal. Sometimes near but never too far away.
Who the fuck is that?

Its simple, most of these jobs take brains and hard work and are in 95 degree weather in the summer, especially in places like Florida.

I am a land surveyor for 27 years, all of the construction trades I am associated with, carpenters, formers, shell, contractors, etc can't hire and keep employees. They were offering $18 per hour with medical benefits, after the second day, they said forget this.

Let's hope America does not have to fight a war that goes hand to hand.
