AI obsolescence is “coming for basically everyone in due time,” says one engineer who went from earning $150k to being locked out of the workforce for over a year.
There are so so many jobs that are not remote and never can be for a city to function. Trades probably being the biggest ones.
I live in one of the lowest COL cities in the country and work a trade and I don’t ever see myself moving. I grew up here and everything.
But implying that every plumber in NYC that would be in a similar situation as me (who I can assure you do not make anywhere near $150k) can “work remote” is obviously never gonna happen. Not everyone can work a desk job. They have family, homes, lives in the city. Even if you could work remote, do you really want to live in bumfuck Idaho and be miserable?
