Sometimes I get confused...being an old man and all. I thought white people were fair game.

Fixed it for you.

I don't assume Canadian or Mexican labor doesn't have the skill. Anyone can have skill and knowledge. I was merely trying to give a counterpoint to _guest's mention of using labor from other countries.
Why do you assume I meant otherwise? Why do people try to turn things into some kind of social issue? Why do people look for things to be offended by? When speaking of people having skill should I mention all races, countries, and genders? Why do I bother saying anything? Whatever.
Here, I'll say it for you. OK boomer.

But what I come across are people who claim to be a carpenter or welder etc. And they are no more skilled than an apprentice.
One case in point, a coworker just passed his master electrician test and is licensed as such. He worked is butt off to learn everything he needed to learn. He has more work than he knows what to do with. He put in the effort, he did the work. It is paying off and his job will never be outsourced. He never sat down and whined about how it's too hard.

Sure any job can be outsourced, but an experienced electrician, a master carpenter, a master welder will always have a job. You can hire all the whoever labor you want but you still need the skill and knowledge to get the job done right. And with today's litigious society most companies want everything done correctly.
Also when you hire a tradesman from out of your area, service and repair becomes a real hassle. If you need electrical repairs done now you won't wait for a technician to drive down from Ottawa if you're in Delaware.
I understand what you are saying but from my experience, a skilled tradesman...who put effort into the job...will always have work.

How do you know the from reaper is male? It's just a cloaked figure.

Lolol

Whatever you want to believe chief. Lmao

Triggered! Hahahahaha

It just seems wrong somehow to put a child into a political/scientific melee. I was wondering if anyone had insight as to why she would be tapped as the voice of climate change outrage...but please, don't let me stop you from jumping to conclusions.
Thank you @xvarnah for a rational post.
