With my job at the moment, I don’t need to go out and tend a garden or hunt for food for my family. I don’t need to carry water from a source and then find a way to clean it. I have light and warmth at a flick of a switch. I don’t need to wash my clothes by hand.
So at the moment, I’m ‘enjoying’ not having to do all of the above, by providing a single service that then opens up all of the above to me.
And I can also find time to type shit on the internet.
But if your not enjoying or can even tolerate whatever job you have to provide the above, then you can certainly go back to looking after your needs solo.
then you can certainly go back to looking after your needs solo.
The only certainty here is homelessness (or living in your car in a Walmart parking-lot).
Not like there’s a lot of free unclaimed land (especially with natural resources) and even if there were you’d still need to travel to get there (good luck with that with little money, and/or using your human legs in USA). You’d most likely be stealth-camping in empty sections of trees next to highways and hoping to not get hassled by somebody, eating gas-station food.
You might find something better with cooperation, but again good luck finding it and having a smooth experience especially as it will likely still require money for housing. But living without income today is most likely going to be a generally worse experience than many have had working for (the well-being of) their family/community in the past. Not saying it was perfect, but yeah I’d rather die to unpreventable hardship than living like this and likely dying to some preventable issue because of money. “In stage 4 we say maybe there’s something we could’ve done but… it’s too late now.”
I mean… sure?
