Yeah, he is amazing (and his analysis is completely in line with other demographers), that we are completely screwed.
Another amazing channel is Chris Williamson, he interviews some heavy hitters (and some not so much) but the discussion is great (some of the interviews are over 3hrs).
People don't know how screwed we actually are. The only thing keeping us afloat is immigration, our birth rate is about 2.3 (and dropping) barely a replacement rate.
China is done, their birth rate is way less than 2 and South Korea's rate is less than one.

Automated manufacturing has been around since the first Allen Bradley PLCs (realistically even before PLC with enclosures full of relays). The product must be designed to be manufactured by automated processes rather than simply throwing automation at existing designs. If you are producing...
The way that demographics are quickly changing, automakers (all manufacturers) will be paying whatever it takes to get workers. Plus the great on-shoring that is starting to take place (you cannot continue to invest in places like China that very quickly will not have the workforce necessary to...

I have always more than offset the tax savings with the sell price delta.
It is a rarity to come out ahead trading a vehicle...
But you do you...
Edit...
My plan is to take it back to mostly stock, get it detailed and find a buyer for it and the accessories.
I still don't know what I am going to replace it with, probably nothing for a while. (I won't be hoofing it)
I am going to sell my 2021 Gladiator Rubicon.
I would like to pick the collective brain of the forum.

Alu-Cab canopy
winch
bull bar
rotopax front fender mounts
bedslide
two drawers
Two spots and Two floods...
For my 40% seat delete, I:
1. replaced the locking storage with to nonlocking.
2. removed the 4" tupperware against the rear wall
3. I used existing holes, except one, used a rivit nut there
4. the plywood rests on the storge compartment
It holds my Dometic CFX45 and my Bluetti EB70 sits...
