Because there are too few builders.

I am trying to get an old house updated and keep hearing no one goes into those jobs anymore. The crews are aging and backed up on work.

This rag makes a huge philosophical social statement without looking at the reality; there are more office workers than builders.

You can’t build anything when everyone is preferring computer jobs and high salaries to go along.

America does not need to build more industrial nonsense. Or even homes. It needs to use empty space that it built better.

This whining about how grand greenfield projects cannot get off the ground is propaganda. Pay trades people what a programmer makes and America will build again.

But that won’t happen as Thiel, Musk and company would not have their way with human agency if it could afford it’s own.
