Will industry shortage make automation come sooner

I dont know the first thing about programming. I just know that a start-up thats only a year old can be valued more then 99% of the trucking outfits out there. But hell, even silicon valley and wall street workers arent safe since big tech wants more indians and wall street trading is being based on computer algorithims instead of human knowledge and action.

Were all rats in a cage!! Maybe we need another hoffa to rise up?

 

Really construction in 1980 pays the same as today?

 

Trucking for a living is a tough job. People get burnt out on it or realize they either miss home too much or their body cant hack it. Plus the feds have taken all the fun out of it with banning drugs, so no more speedin while running produce from CA to nyc in 2 days flat.

 

Hell yeah. A plumber on the street is making $25-30 an hour. When adjusted for inflation, it was the same in 1980. Same for carpenters, framers, concrete guys, etc etc. And its the same thing. They say theres a shortage of trades workers, yet the pay doesnt reflect that.

 

I just looked up the govt earnings reports for 1980. Avg hourly rate for general construction for a man between 35 to 64 with 4yrs or more experience was a sliver under $30/hr.

 

My understanding is fully autonomous vehichles will require 5g wireless.

It turns out the 5g range is not what we expected. We are having issues deploying 5g coverage.

And I know the driver assisting equipment on my truck right now wont work in bad weather.

There are a bevy of issues still in the way.

 

This is the only answer.

 

Avg pay in 1980 for a heavy truck driver between 35 to 64 was $25.19/hr. Megas only came into the picture once hoffa was eliminated and the unions were busted. Thats when it became vulture city and the whole cpm became a thing.

 

Adjusted for inflation probably, no construction worker was getting the same dollar amount pay in the 80s.
