  1.  @JonathanNation  Many mechanics quit that field because of low pay per hour worked (the dealer or shop makes the profit while tech pay hasn't come close to tracking inflation). "Welding" is mostly fab shop work slinging a wire welder on the low end of the pay scale. The structural and pipe business is much smaller and a young man's game. (Mike Rowe is a rich actor paid to make people feel good.) The reality of the trades is not some waterfall of money (for the workers). I'm a lifelong mechanic with machining and welding background, but I was smart enough to join the armed forces to vest a reliable retirement. The auto mechanics including shop owners I knew as a youth told me to avoid the field...in 1978. They were right. I enjoyed industrial mechanics but the companies I worked for left my hometown and/or no longer exist.

  4. Business is war. Labor and management in the US are enemies, and management buy media.

  5.  @nozrep  Please list the affected companies currently run by "entrepreneurs" you assert exist. Otherwise that's strawmanning.
