Found a flip video from the 2000s and it still works. I wanted to give it to my son, but I had to clean it up first because it was sitting in the garage for so long that the outside got really tacky and kind of gross. I had to use a lot of goo gone, but it was worth it. When I first turned it on, it made me set the date and the year doesn’t go beyond 2020 and when I asked Grok, he said there’s no update lol
I need to hire about 300 general laborers, carpenters, concrete finishers, surveyors and field engineers.
This labor market is critically low at slim pickings level.
...another reason the Data Center craze bubble is going to burst... Prices for labor, materials and everything is becoming so stressed it's driving demand off the charts and prices are soaring. I'm see some competing companies offering DOUBLE what my company pays for laborers with between $2-4k/per month per diems. INSANE.
This cannot sustain itself.
I'm also seeing suppliers stressed. For example, I bought 2,500 Diamond Dowels for slab construction joints for my slabs on an Amazon I'm building right now. Bought them last month for $3.75/unit. This week I had to order 200 more. Price went up $4.29/unit.
That's 14.4% increase in price in one month. That's not all. Vapor barrier went up 17%. Lumber went up 9%. Aggregate/stone is up 10%. Sealers/Cures and other concrete curing agents are up 10%. Reinforcing bar is up ...
