    A lot of farmhands operate million dollar combines and tractors pulling additional millions in implements. If a heavy duty equipment operator is “skilled” then you might have to rethink that one.

      not sure if you’re trying to argue with me or speaking rhetorically

        Sounds like you’re saying all farmhands are “unskilled”. I’m offering a counterpoint.

          I am saying nobody is “unskilled”. You need to work on your reading comprehension and not just look for an online argument

            Comment you replied to:

            Not sure farmers and bricklayers are considered unskilled

            Your reply:

            Very certainly farm-hands and manual laborers are (unskilled).

            Maybe read that again and see if you can understand why I came to the conclusion you were agreeing with that poster. I don’t expect you will change your mind, but in my experience, you modify the adjective to what you would want your statement to agree with, and in the absence of changing it, you’re just carrying on with that adjective.

            Edit: I’m not here to make an argument, but explain why I thought you were saying the opposite. I’m not going to reply to anything here, because you’re apparently thinking the worst of anyone that comments in a way you take to be adversarial. So, carry on.
