The future is going to be in the skilled trades, from installing and upgrading servers to maintaining power systems to plumbing and building repairs.
The work can’t be done by robots, nor can it be done by unskilled immigrants walking across the border.

True to a degree, but what you’ll start seeing is those things being designed so as to not require as much human intervention to maintain.

No doubt true. But think about what you’re saying.

100 people replaced by automation. 5 people install and maintain the equipment. 95% job loss.

Also, those 5 people are by definition going to be over on the right side of the intelligence bell curve. What about those in the middle and on the left side?
