“but in a gig style setup”
“I will only bring them back if we can do it in a way that treats them with as little dignity as possible”
The entire country and maybe world will be gig workers by 2060. They’ve finally figured out the cheat code. You “get to be your own boss”, they get to shed a ton of liability, pay you absolutely no benefits whatsoever, stop paying for workers comp, etc
Increase supply if housing isn’t a commodity, reduce pricing if housing is no longer a vehicle for retirement, end housing as a vehicle for capital so there are far less empty homes doing nothing, etc
It doesn’t solve the problem overnight (zoning reform is a big issue to address, for one) but it would alleviate a lot of key issues
That would be in equity, not in cash, but it would mean each person would have secure housing, a secure retirement, reliable transportation, and reliable healthcare
Imagine how much less stressful life would be if the average person didn’t have to worry about paying rent and whether or not they will retire at the end of their life.
I work in mental health and I guarantee you a lot of mental illness is not “mental illness” but resource management issues masquerading as such
This is interesting, thanks
Not the same at all. I realize this is my fault for poorly communicating. I want to sit down while being enveloped in toasty water that brings me back to the only peaceful period of my life, the uterine experience. And really I want to lay down
Wishing that the west had the bathtub culture of Japan so I could be sitting down
Is that a thing? I’m not part of any groups, just a weirdo that occasionally does a one shot or short series for practice (with horrific typesetting and redrawing because I am garbage at that and I have no e friends haha)
I tend to just post them on a random wordpress site I made and they still usually find their way to mangadex and co with no promotion whatsoever which is weird
This is why I self host. nas+komga+mihon beats mangadex/bato/etc every day
I hope scanlators get back into the habit of releasing rips onto their sites, torrents, or some other direct platform instead of these sites that inevitably turn to shit
This line of thinking led to me having a beard with bald patches in it so this advice is not for everyone
Depends on the person, resilience factors, support, access, what the addiction is, etc
