My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

The problem here is menial work. Some people need to build houses or produce furniture or repair cars etc. And that is often not well paid, destroys you physically, and you need to live where the work is or you need to pay for a car and extra insurance and extra taxes etc. etc. And then people do a full time job with actual societal merit, working in a field they want to work, but it’s not worth doing so. And that can’t stay this way. There is no remote job as a stone mason, Raoul. Not everyone can do that.
Yes, there is menial work available in many areas. Even if you live in a rural area, as millions of Americans currently do, who make a living and own homes.
The magical secret is CARS - you can get a car, and drive it to the job. Jobs definitely exist outside of big city metro areas, even if you don’t believe in them.
They increase your costs and cut back on your effective income. That’s the fucking point.
Not when they allow you to live in a low cost of living area and make a good income. I get to keep more of my income because my bills are low.
Having a car grants a human being a much greater amount of personal freedom, because you can simply get in it and drive to anywhere the roads lead. One of those benefits is being able to go to work and bring home the bacon.
