Answer:no, I don't think they are making any living from fixing farm equipment.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a high chance that when those machines broke people who will be called to fix them are the already existing contractors who will bring their own mechanics .
No one will be hired to come and fix those machines , the job is likely to go to someone who already has a job.
In a way these machines do cut down employment opportunities for the ordinary Americans .
One machine cover the work that can be done by 10 or more people and even if a person is hired to fix it, it won't amount to the number of people who would have been hired to do the job that is now done by machines .
