I’m a home builder. Been in construction my whole life. Vance hit the nail on the head. But, there is another problem. And that’s that people just don’t wanna work anymore. Esp manual labor that makes ya hurt everyday. We get paid garbage compared to other places of business. I could leave this job right now, 4th generation builders in my family, and get a better job with very little time investment. The reason I know this is because I lead my sons away from this line of work. Why do this, when you can do a job that’s amazingly easier and safer, for more money, benefits, insurance, commodities. And currently one son is already making nearly twice what I make, and he’s barely into his 20’s. Being self employed is a really good job for drug heads. No piss test. Seriously. This is who mostly comes into this line of work. They don’t show up on Mondays because of their weekend. They don’t show up on Friday because the weekend already started. They will hound you for their paycheck tho. Which is nearly half of what Walmart would pay you. This whole situation around construction and self employment is crazy right now. And has been for a time. And on top of that, contractors are just charging ridiculous prices now. We are having to adjust subcontractors every 3 months because they are going up so fast. Whose gonna fix that problem? Houses have went up near $30 a sq ft this last year. In a year! We used to see maybe a $5 at most. As for instance, the other builders on my area used to be around $15 higher than us per sq ft on average. Fast forward 2 yrs. They are over $100 per sq ft higher than us now. It’s insane. We don’t rob people like that. So what’s gonna stop this insane price gouging? Competition? Then we’re back to the worker problem. Not enough people want to work. And nowhere near qualified people to do the jobs. Mike Rowe knows this situation best. We are way past the red levels. We’re in the black.
Its not just construction. Pretty much any part of economy where human labour (hard work, or fine work) is very important, is becoming impossible to afford and sustain. The real reason for this is the Fed based beast slavery financial system we are in, where as more money is printed, it dilutes the real value of everything, including human labour, and replaces it with fake valueless commodities.
In this system, its much more safer to be earning lots more money in a cushy job than doing hard work, and its by design. They are literally stealing from our labour by devaluing it.
The only catch is that, all the cushy jobs, the more money they earn the less real value they create, and more deeply embedded into the beast illusion. When the crash comes, these are the ones who will be hit hard.
Those who have physical labour skills are the ones who can continue to feed themselves whereas the ones in the corporate job will be in the street on their backs with no way of earning a living.
You will see the truth in this not too far away from now. I myself am dreading the coming changes (in a good way though) because I am not a builder or tradie and i know I will be hit harder. But its the mindset that matters. Once we are willing to switch back into "real economy" with real work and creating real products, and willing to do what it takes to learn new skills and work hard, we will be fine.
People like you, however, will have a great advantage. You should definitely make sure your kids learn some skills from you even if they dont go into your line of work.
Again, by design. Its impossible to fix the prices with good competition because we are not in a free market. Workers are a problem, by design. Good equipment is expensive, by design. You have to outsource everything, buy cheap chinese crap and hire illegal immigrants paying them slavery wages. By design.
Its all going to implode and its going to be so spectacular, and its going to make a lot of heads explode.
Ever got that bad I’d bring my sons in absolutely. And maybe that’s God’s plan for me. We’ll see. It’s all in His hands.
