@jamougha@fitzr1189 You’re in the UK, your opinions on work are irrelevant. I’m sure if the US instituted the same worker protections people would actually be enthusiastic to work. 10 vacation days a year that you are actually allowed to use is rare here.
@Jimmy_Edwardo@AnalogEnjoyer@RizomaSchool Aren’t journeymen electrician making like 65k? A basic business degree starts you at ~80k nowadays. The math and statistics just aren’t there for the trades (most of the time).
@Empty_America For homesteading to be self sustaining you have to live a life of inconvenience. Driving 45 minutes to the closest grocery store (dollar tree) is not appealing to 99.9% of Americans.
@TrustMe1776@bumbadum14 Well you see, if you destroy america you stop the debt crisis and let the oligarchs rule. Which is what the right wing is going for right?
@HTownEnergyFrog@allengilmer Sure, if you’re in sales which most people aren’t. Specifically B2B as well. Does the average human interact with another in consumer goods anymore? I certainly don’t know anyone that does.
@allengilmer@HTownEnergyFrog Nobody mentioned AI? That’s an entirely different story that a strong network won’t even save you from. The cost savings are just too great to keep humans in the loop
