Great questions. In this era of AI, bio-engineering, satellite communication one needs to ask what isn't going away?

An answer: bad plumbing.

I had an opportunity to buy a drain rooter business. I wasn't that motivated. But I think the model is amazing. 99.9% of all Americans have plumbing. And it fails. The drain business doesn't require a plumbing license (at least in Oregon) and is far more of a consumer / business service. The outfit I looked at hired people out of fast food. They wanted employees with a customer service focus who weren't afraid of working weird hours. And? They now get paid 90-125K versus minimum wage.

I heard once if you go to a party and people are repulsed with your business, that is a good thing. It is good because it means there is a social barrier preventing others from jumping on the bandwagon.

Good luck! This is interesting.
