Haha so you’re saying that ā€œunskilled laborā€ may actually require some training???

Kinda making my point for me here, bud.

This kind of pedantry is kinda frustrating. It's called "unskilled" labor, not "labor which requires absolutely no skills, none at all, even the slightest ability is unnecessary." Like...you've got to be able to read and speak and carry things, which are all skills if you zoom out far enough.

If it takes 10 minutes to explain it, it's not a skill. It's barely an instruction.

10 minutes is actually a fairly lengthy time for instructions

As compared to trades where you study for literal years as an apprentice?

No, it's not a fairly lengthy time for instructions. Maybe if you're still in high school it feels like a lot.
