But I see threats to it and other good union jobs. Like Ai, automation, and corporate greed. But I’m in a trade so I think I should personally be safe and have job security until retirement age.
One of the bigger threats. Is at the top of richest person in the world lists and even bought a social media website that helps him control some of the narrative in this country and around the world. And he has recently seemed to grow in popularity with right wingers.
Musk “I disagree with the idea of unions.”

Trades are definitely one of the last bricks that will fall. As I stated earlier I think human judgment jobs, e.g. the criminal justice field, are going to be safe as well. I don't think many people would be comfortable with an AI making decisions about people's freedom. As for Musk, dude, give up the left wing boogeymaning of that guy. He's far from perfect, but of all the billionaires he generally seems concerned with the future of the human race. Bezos is far more sinister, yet he received virtually no press coverage. I'm far from a Musk jockrider (although the usual suspects will leap on this, confusing trying to view him in a balanced/nuanced way as being a diehard supporter) but the vilification of that guy since he brought Twitter just reeks of organized character assassination.
