Paying a human to do anything is so expensive. And it makes sense when you break it down by what their costs probably are.

I don't think anyone is even making a lot of money there is so much overhead costs.

But you have to use a human no matter what.

In this case the thing that changed was we went from fixing with a few parts, to wholesale replacing.
