Moved to place with nice community hot tub which I have time to use with other unmasked people. Helped teach a friend machine safety while excavating at his house. We also extensively talked about how he can raise his prices and I joined him on a job bid and helped him bid it. I even wore blue coveralls!

Hike. Snorkel. SUP in river. Ski. Catch up on news by talking to tourists on chair lift. Research where to go to get a couple hundred days on a surfboard.

I feel like while I might be willing to go back, nobody cares about dirty greasy blue-collar people like me. What I did regularly involved real physical hazards while working on small to $1M÷ 'large' machines which were typically broken in sometimes undisclosed ways. An extra $5/hour is not going to do it.

It won't get better until there is a general strike for about six months and a couple crop rotations. It would need to be long enough to affect the new private charter jetsetter class. The American experiment of self-sovereignty and individual choice is done for most people who are now just debt slaves.
