  4. BlackRock's CEO: "We're going to run out of electricians."

    Huang's quote: "You don't need a PhD in computer science to make a great living from AI."

    The robots need buildings. Buildings need humans.

  5. "America is losing jobs in blue-collar industries, something that last occurred during the initial shock of the early pandemic and the depths of the Great Recession. The country is down 65k industrial jobs over the last year, a dramatic reversal from 2024, when the US added a lower-than-usual but still respectable 250k jobs. A major slowdown has hit all blue-collar sectors this year, including construction, mining, and utilitiesโ€”though manufacturing and transportation are driving the vast majority of US job losses.

    In total, employment across trades and industry is now down 123k from the all-time peak reached in early 2025 and has been declining nearly every month since February. This is likely underselling the damage as well, since preliminary estimates for upcoming annual jobs data revisions suggest an additional loss of 100k manufacturing jobs and 30k construction jobs.

    Manufacturing jobs have been suffering the longest, with employment declining for more than two years straight at this point as the sectorโ€™s share of the total US workforce shrinks to a record low of less than 8%. Transportation equipment (mostly car manufacturing) and electronics lead the losses, but the decline has been remarkably broad-based, with all major industries except metals & nonmetallic minerals bleeding jobs. In total, the US has now lost more than 200k manufacturing jobs compared to the recent peak in early 2023."

  6. "Allentown" is a song by American singer #BillyJoel and the lead track on Joel's 1982 album #TheNylonCurtain. Released as the album's second single, it was accompanied by a conceptual #musicVideo. Upon its release, and especially in subsequent years, "Allentown" emerged as an anthem of #bluecollar America, representing both the aspirations and frustrations of America's working class in the late 20th century. It protested against the decline of the rust belt.

  7. We encourage listening not just to 7-mins but entire 35:26 interview by Steve Inskeep of #NationalPublicRadio w/ Governor Spencer Cox at Western Governors Conference, for Nov 25 #NPR npr.org/2025/11/25/nx-s1-56153

    On USA social change 31:56-35:26.

    On Artificial Intelligence 24:46- 31:50โ€” a snippet @ 30:49:
    โ€œWeโ€™ve gotten into this mode, Iโ€™d say on both the right and left, where weโ€™ve become subservient to technology. Instead of technology serving us, weโ€™ve become slaves to the #technology. And I think thatโ€™s going to happen with #AI if weโ€™re not very carefulโ€ฆ.Weโ€™ve started an AI policy lab in Utah, itโ€™s the #first of its kind anywhere in the world, where we have experts now, in the government, working directly with the companies, to make sure their products are safe, passing legislation that gives them a safe harbor so that they can do what they wanna do, as long as it protects our #people.โ€

  8. Jim Farley, #Ford #CEO, spit fantasy BS into Mike Rowe's ear and Mike Rowe laundered that BS into unquestioned truth.

    Anti-worker rhetoric was transmuted into pallettable gruel in real time using Mike Rowe as a filter medium.

    The #media, and it's lapdogs like Rowe, are used in this way every single day.Let's break this down.

  9. #Bluecollar is in. 10 high-paying #jobs that don't require a degree.

    Two in five #GenZers are pursuing blue-collar #work, rejecting the collegiate path and learning trades, according to a May 2025 survey of 1,434 young adults by #Resume Builder.

    #Vocational and #tradeprograms are booming, federal data shows.

    One reason is a perception that #bluecollarjobs pay well, and that #college costs are becoming prohibitive.
