It's like real-life Factorio: one conveyor jams and every downstream machine on the pipeline needs to be manually un-fucked! Seriously though, I'm glad I don't

It's like real-life Factorio: one conveyor jams and every downstream machine on the pipeline needs to be manually un-fucked! Seriously though, I'm glad I don't need a car, computer, or home repair. Friends in tech are telling me 50-100 week lead times on parts. (Like the Intel NIC article on HN last week.) Anecdotally, since the early 2000's I have had trouble finding contractors to do small home improvement jobs (under 50k). For at least two decades, only big jobs get bid, the rest require handymen. Not that I have a problem with handymen, just that they often shouldn't handle jobs that really require a team. So it feels like the comment about construction has never really been alleviated in my experience. It's like airlines and baggage fees: they told it is was due to 9/11 and fuel costs, and were only temporary, yet they persist.
