Looking For Work?
You can't play if you don't eat and you can't eat if you don't work.
The search for work to sustain home and family has become a bit like being trapped in the desert. Just as you would crave water to relieve your need, you would do anything you could to earn it. Why if there are people who have need, and are willing to put their effort into fulfilling that, are the opportunities so slim?
I know.
Everything that used to be done by human beings for others, is now being done by mechanical means, and those machines have little need. My friend's mother worked as a telephone operator for Michigan Bell Telephone Company. She connected calls between people.

One hand should feed the other, a human hand.
Now, there are no telephone operators. In fact, there is no Michigan Bell which provided the equipment and fixed the lines.

I could go on and on, stating jobs that were vital to people and sustained a household. The fact is, our work is all set to provide for inhuman counterparts.
Yesterday I was looking for my favorite Christmas candy, "Cella Chocolate Covered Cherries". Of course I would've also picked up a can of ribbon candy and perhaps a mixture of filled hard candies, but I couldn't find any of them. It was really rather disappointing. I took the few things I had picked up to the checkout and just about fainted.
Self check out lines were offered in mass! This allows you to add to your effort of shopping...and work for a business, without being paid! It takes a persons job away, gives you another one and that is pure nonsensical.
We are creating wastelands like deserts and there are still thirsty people.
I don't even want to understand this because it's the stuff of nightmares.
The Post Office is next. When people are polled about whether or not they 'care' about receiving this 6 day a week service...they don't. The computer has replaced a lot of their needs for communication...and gifts are ordered online...still delivered by hand but that is mostly because they haven't built large conveyance belts to make people pick up their own presents.
Just by cutting one day off delivery, an enormous amount of money will be saved to the business...but, an enormous amount of people will be put out of work. They simply will be sent to the desert to wander and search for work to obtain what they now have.
I think perhaps the Amish people have a clearer view of things. Quality merchandise, made by hand sustains not only themselves, but their farms and fills the table. They shun modern methods of convenience and mechanization. I heard once that 'You are either Amish, or English' and that made me laugh...but I am not laughing anymore.
Appliances, electronics, clothing...it's all made to be thrown away when it fails...no one knows how to fix broken things to restore their use. A lady I know will not even so much as sew a button or seam to save her wardrobe expense.
Educational degrees can be bought simply by having a computer and going back and forth...You don't have to prove you are doing your own work. Perhaps we trust one another that much to believe that who we say we are is who we really are? I don't think that is quite so.
Why get out of your pajamas to do anything?
Because we will throw ourselves away without repair.
We are dissolving into thin air without much fuss at all.
It's happening and still, I don't believe it.
Perhaps it isn't too late to save ourselves.
Perhaps...no one really cares.
That is worse than being thirsty.
