Ever seen someone doing their “unskilled job” all their life? It’s just fucking magic!
The truth is that capitalists hate skilled workers, because those workers have bargaining power. This is why they love the sort of automation which completely removes workers or thought from the equation, even if the ultimate solution is multiple times more expensive or less competent than before.
Nothing is more infuriating to a boss, than a worker that can talk back with experience.
I work as a tech and they havent found someone who can do my job yet. It is complicated, hand-busting work. I am paid little compared to the gang of engineers, middle managers, and executives who are running the company in to the ground. Its maddening.
