I dunno, just fuckin paying people to quit their nonsense jobs for websites or Jamba Juice and instead paying them $30/hr to install solar panels, plant trees, build high speed internet, retrofit buildings and build up public transit would solve a lot of problems I think
Wouldn't it just be neat if people could work for the common good and not to enrich like the dude who owns Jimmy John's? Iunno I just think that could be better.
@interneteh yeah that sounds pretty fuckin rewarding and honourable
@interneteh This is effectively what the WPA did - paid people to build public infrastructure. It was effective. Sure, yes, let's do that again.
@WanderingBeekeeper well yeah, there's still hiking trails that were originally established by the WPA. Nearly 100 years old
@Elizafox beg to differ. Planting trees rules.
@interneteh As someone who just spent a couple afternoons installing a solar kit on the shed in our vegetable garden and is itching to learn more about solar, I fully endorse this idea.
@interneteh we could even plant locally sustainable fruit and vegetables, instead of exploiting the global south!
