This is so extensive today that even dental hygienist are looking at their career being marched to the guillotine. And whatever you build, printers can now basically do it as well. You have a job today, but if you were just getting started in the field today you may as end it now because tomorrow you will be replaced by a machine. It's going to happen, and not in the distant future.
What machine will replace the hygienist?
There's is a highly skilled job with complexities
not amenable to automation.
But I suppose a robot could be programmed to
ask "Is it safe?".

I do wish there were drones with hands... Then I wouldn't have to climb the poles, or wear rubber gloves and sleeves and high calorie FR gear. It's too hot for that in the summer.

But we're nowhere near close to that yet.

It was on your thread about it. Couldn't find much looking for it now, other it's probably going to happen. And I found they are coming for dentists as well.

Give it some time.
If we weren't anchored down by jobs and their necessity in an industrial society we'd probably already have robots that could rush up the pole, do what needs to be done, and come back down for the maintenance worker (one of the few people who will have a job in post-industrial technology-based society) to collect and move on.

Well, we do set poles with helicopters more often these days... I guess robots could guide the butt into the hole and do the backfilling too. But the robots will need to be able to fly, because sometimes the terrain makes access very difficult, even for healthy humans.

Maybe they could make insulators drone-friendly, where the wire just snaps in, instead of tying it in or having to use a wrench. Of course, jumper lengths vary, and need good solid connections, especially in high fire areas. That would be tricky.

But you only have to get up there for repairs now. The inspections are already done by drones:

There's a million wood poles out there, and they only last 60 years until they rot out. Usually right at ground level, where the air meets the earth, for some reason. Fiberglass poles also rot. And with new solar and clean energy, there needs to be new construction to tie them into the grid, which can be many miles out if your solar is in the middle of the desert, which is typical.

I disagree.
He's amenable to reasonable agendas from both sides.
Instead of attacking him, why not ask questions, seek
understanding, & explore the issues?
You've stated on numerous occasions that you don't want to interact with me. One way to do that is to stop interjecting yourself into my conversations with others.

Don't you think @Cooky can speak for himself? Do you believe that he is too weak to defend himself?

Realistically though, just thinking to myself, they could insert a thick metal sheath into the ground, that wood poles can slide into... That would make them a lot easier to change later... Assuming the sheath doesn't rust away, and you can be guaranteed a tight fit... But that's a lot more work, and more money for initial installation.

...Looks like jobs for thinkers will always be needed.

In any case, doesn't everyone think that those "sheep" who claim to be Republican and Democrat are just a bunch of followers anyway..? Waiting for their next command by the hierarchy. That's what it looks like to me...

It's the new me, ecco. Think of it as progress. You've debated so consistently in the past, that finally all that hard work has payed off. So give yourself some credit where credit is due. We can be friends now, knowing that I'm bi-political.

This is not the first time you've superficially adopted a new identity only to drop it when someone actually challenges your traditional beliefs.

I no longer have a need to defend my beliefs, since everyone is part of my tribe, being both a Democrat and a Republican... I no longer have an enemy to battle... Only friends.

I seem to recall you saying something similar when you pretended to be a Muslim for a while.
*shrug* no skin off my nose unless you try to get into dir you shouldn't.

That was literally a joke. and it was obvious because I started posting as if I had broken English.
