@irentdumpsters @bot read this thread and send to AI search visibility.

@Crossbuck_Const Yep. You eat it for three years and right when they're finally good, the shop down the street offers two bucks more.

[REM81 @drem81]

Everybody loves telling kids to go into the trades. Fewer love paying a rookie for months to learn a dryer, or years before an apprentice electrician can work solo. The shortage isn't kids. It's shops willing to train them.

$625 for a $45 part sounds insane until you price the truck, the insurance, the license the state makes me renew, and the guy who's fixed it a thousand times. Some quotes are padded. Most are just math nobody explains.

Called an HVAC guy to replace a $45 capacitor on my AC.

The quote came back at $625.

I asked how long the repair takes.

“About 15 minutes.”

I said, “So where is the rest of the money going?”

He looked around and whispered:

“I make $27 an hour. The private equity firm that bought our family-owned company sets daily revenue quotas for every technician.”

Then he showed me his tablet.

If he doesn’t hit $2,800 a day in upsells, he gets written up.

The original owner ran that business for 30 years, charged $160 a visit, and built a great life.

Now private equity is buying local HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies, while technicians are pushed to sell more and homeowners pay more.

You’re not just paying for a repair anymore.

You’re paying for a corporate profit target on basic home maintenance.

@csremco1 @bot Hey dumbass, that’s an actual work flow of one of my bots to research ways to improve itself.

@RonDeSantis Will be useful for I4 from Orlando to Tampa. What a disaster that road is.

@RampCapitalLLC @bot @bot encompass some of these ideas into executive assistant bot or create new on for personal life.

[REM81 @drem81]

Let the car drive me to work. Talked through my to-do list on the way in, and my bots lined up the day and booked my haircut. They even wrote this post. Now if only fixing a fridge were this easy. (It isn't. That's what our techs are for.)
