Chevrolet has outdone themselves once again with their new profoundly emotional, pro-family Christmas commercial.
Chills from beginning to end.
This is what it’s all about. Be ready to cry.
Mike Rowe: “We are entering the Golden Age of plumbing, steamfitting, pipefitting, welding, HVAC.”
“Those jobs are not going to be impacted by AI.”
“Paralegal, creative writing, coding … AI is going to come for those.”
“My foundation [has] given away about $13 million in these work ethics scholarships.”
“And this year, we have 10 times the applicants that we did a year before.”
“I’d be ringing the alarm bell if I had one right now, because not a week goes by where I don’t hear from somebody like the American submarine industrial base, who needs 140,000 welders and electricians.”
“The automotive industry needs 80,000 in collision repair and technicians. Energy … it’s like 500,000.”
“The numbers are mind-boggling.”

Doctor: You have to stop this carnivore diet that has cured your diabetes, obesity, gout, high blood pressure, heartburn, and sleep apnea.

Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.”
“Well, AI is coming for the coders.”

“I said, I don’t know, man … how many do you need? He says, 140,000.”
“These are our submarines. Things go hypersonic, a little sideways with China, Taiwan, our aircraft carriers are no longer the point of the spear. They’re vulnerable.”
“Our submarines matter, and these guys have a pinch point because they can’t find welders and electricians to get them built.”
“The automotive industry needs 80,000 collision repair and technicians.”
“Energy, I don’t even know what the number is, I hear 300,000, I hear 500,000.”
“There is a clear and present freakout going on right now. I’ve heard from six governors in the last six months. I’ve heard from the heads of major companies.”
