I take issue with calling laborers 'unskilled.' They were actually considered skilled laborers, trained in trades like pipefitting, electrical, plumbing work.

I take issue with calling laborers 'unskilled.' They were actually considered skilled laborers, trained in trades like pipefitting, electrical, plumbing work. An unskilled laborer had yet to be trained, journey-manned and certified. Give these wonderfully hardworking people some credit. Also, do a deep dive on the Koch Brothers; their father went to Nazi Germany in the 1930's and built oil refineries for the Third Reich. Koch was a total creep who left his two young boys with a dominatrix German nanny who abused them. Yup; captains of U.S. industry, those boys. One is sicker than the other!
I could not agree more. I'm a wildly over paid executive in the technology industry. I recently sold a plot of land to a developer to build a house. I work with him and his team as they build the 5,000 square foot McMansion. These laborers have more knowledge of their areas of expertise (raw land, pipe fitting, framing, electricity etc...) than i have in my area of expertise by a long shot. And the general contractor knows more about what he is producing that most CEO's i have worked for.
In technology we have financial wizards that make us the stupid profits we make. Not engineers. And not CEO's for sure. Lobbyists impact our profits, like with banks, more than engineers.
You are spot on. "unskilled labor" ???? Give me a break. The average Barista has to hold more knowledge in her head than the average tech executive.
