No need to do that because theirs already a massive shortage of skilled tradesmen. Oh wait I said tradesmen I think I'm supposed to say trades people. Don't want to offend the letter people. Anyway the shortage is allowing the contractors to be more choosey of who they want to do work for because the ball is in their court. Many contractors are booked for a long time and have to turn down work.

Every business transaction has terms of service attached. Rarely is any service-- skilled or whatever, provided without some parameters agreed to by two parties.

So you think robots are going to be hanging drywall and installing faucets? Good luck with that.

The OP is assuming that there are no progressives in skilled trade.

There are sure a lot of childish rants from the trumpies lately.

This is almost the dumbest thing I’ve ever read.

When did Twitter deny someone an account for being a Trump voter? Shutting down an account for breaking the rules (I.e. spreading lies or encouraging violence) is very different from denying a person an account in the first place because of their political party.

But, hey, go for it. I’d love to see how well that works out for you.

Progressives don’t do labor. It’s beneath them.
They like desk jobs that they can check their twitter and Facebook accounts all day.
If, they even have jobs.

LOL right. I think I read billions of dollars are wasted in productivity because of people playing on cell phones in the office. It used to be the time at the water cooler wasted the time now it's cell phones

The trades do have terms of service is called a union contract, you should see the perks. I have to provide xyz and I cant yell at a guy, I cant pick up a tool sometimes I have to pay a union guy to watch one of my guys do the work because he doesnt know how to.

Facebook and Twitter have suspended and banned people who didn't "encourage violence," and they haven't suspended many who pushed the whole "Russian collusion" lie for three years. So as we have pointed out again, and again, and yes, again, the big social media companies are very selective and inconsistent about how they handle those who break the "rules."
