    Literally everyone is replaceable with someone cheaper. So-called “skilled” positions aren’t safe from that. What the other person is positing is that they must be unskilled if they can be replaced. CEOs get replaced regularly, does that make them “no talent and easily replaced?”

    Like get a fucking reality check, do you know how many workers in the US economy are literally unreplaceable? Very, very few. There’s tons of people out there with your exact skillset, and some of them are willing to work for cheaper than you are. Shocker.

    The idea that this only happens to UnSkIlLeD LaBoR is a joke and I’m sick of seeing it trotted out as some sort of gotcha by you fucking troglodytes.

    The key was the dogwhistle of “unskilled labor” in the words “no talent and easily replaced.”

    If I “fire” Microsoft Azure as my Cloud Hosting Provider, and switch to Amazon Web Services, does that mean Microsoft Azure workers are “talentless and easily replaced?” Like get a grip on fucking reality here for a minute.
