  • When I was in the US the last time (must be around 20 years ago) there was a man in booth in a parking garage. It was something I had naver really seen in germany before. All our garages were already automated back then.

    Later I thought about that and got to the conclusion that this person’s work must be cheaper than just putting up an automated system.

    The US seems to have a few other jobs that I had never seen in germany. Greeter, bagger, sign spinner.

    I don’t know what it looks like today but for me that looks like jobs just to make people work.

    Yes and that nuclear power plant is not shut down at day time. Instead renewables will be throttled if there is an overproduction. That is the either/or scenario that I mean. Every watt that is produced by a nuclear power plant is pretty much a constant and displaces renewables. It also keeps the base energy costs high because they are constantly running.
