In the end, machines will take all the white-collar, high-paid jobs.

Only pink collar jobs are perfectly safe from automation.

It's which type of muscle you build/are adept in, either physical or mental

There are plenty of jobs that don't require intelligence. This is just delusional talk.

You've got it backwards: Capitalists want to take the skill, craft, and intelligence out of a job so people are more replaceable, even if it makes the end product worse.

No. I don't. It's easy as fuck to be a line cook at fast food. Low skill, no intelligence needed.

It's only low skill because everything has been standardized and prepped ahead of time. Even then, there is skill required to effectively and efficiently execute a standardized procedure.

No it's not. It's easy as shit to take ground beef , dump some salt and pepper on it, and add condiments.

Fast food, cashier, bagger/stocker, disposal pickup, dishwasher.

None. Zero skill. Children literally do it

And people that aren't particularly intelligent still deserve a chance to make a living and lead a normal life, and also deserve to be protected - via laws - from being taken advantage by those who are more intelligent, cunning and unethical.

I never said anything to the contrary. Just stop trying to pretend low skill labor doesn't exist.
