  1. Beware of oversimplification. UPS drivers are expensive. Amazon and USPS contract drivers are cheap. Examine which jobs see layoffs and most of them aren't important to the actual function of the US. My car and truck mechanic bros have plenty of work, ditto my HVAC and welding buds. The oversupply of people who may not be awesome at tech means heavy culling now and then. To be REALLY good you have to be an enthusiast since childhood, not just go to coding bootcamp and think the sun shines out your posterior. The US workforce is varied and enormous so WHO is getting laid off and who is not is relevant. The Georgia Pacific mill down the road from me is running full out and logging pine plantations is heavy because there is so much demand for the physical objects made from wood. Managing data is not the same and highly vulnerable to improvements in efficiency.

  2. UAW raises reflect NOT keeping up with inflation over time. If your pay doesn't match the rate of inflation every year is a pay cut.

  3. Mine are excellent but they all have traditional Southern manners. I've lived in the GA/NC/SC region since 1983 and gotten uniformly helpful, excellent service all around. Where do you live so I don't accidentally move there?
