Good luck making $50k 2 hours in the sticks, though, unless you’re in Oil and Gas. At least near me, people in the rural areas love oil because it was the first time they could get “decent” blue collar jobs. That’s why paid retraining and/or relocation needs to be offered to people in Oil as Gas as part of any climate action. You won’t get people who used to make $4/hr to agree to go back to that when oil pays then $35/hr.

Nobody seems to get this when I bitch about home prices and low salaries....

Yes I'll just move to nowhereville, job openings: 6, 5 of which are $10/hr while homes are still $180k

Is this censored? Why do you have "removed" in your post?

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Does it say "when I (removed) about..."?

I said the big bad B word.... Female dogs and all that...
