Best job i ever had was maintenance guy at a nursing home. Loved it. Rewarding. Fulfilling. Paid only $10.75/hr so i left it and ‘developed my career’ and now im ‘successful’ but at least once a week i have dreams where im back in the home hanging pictures, flirtin with the ol gals, being useful.

So when people ask ‘who fixes toilets under communism?’ my answer is a resounding ‘me. I will fix the toilets.’

      I’m from the middle of nowhere West Virginia where a lot of the times you can’t get the county to fill in potholes. Lots of people manually fill them in themselves with gravel. If the tools were readily available to borrow, then there would absolutely be somebody that would fix their own road.

      We act like there was no infrastructure before capitalism, and that’s just not the case. If a village needed a bridge, they built a bridge together.

      This is a joke right? Like those jobs are grueling as fuck and require very particular people to be interested/capable.
