Robots are coming for your job - or are they?

This episode peels back the layers of America’s automation boom to ask: how many humans does one robot really replace? From auto factories to woodworking shops, we look briefly at the real ratios - not the headline hype.

And what about the cost? Some of these small machines run $500K a pop and still need constant updates. Meanwhile, skilled tradespeople are still in demand, still showing up, and still building the backbone of America.

As John says: "When the robots break, they don’t call Silicon Valley - they call me."
