Antiwork

I get a newspaper delivered on Saturdays (yes, a physical paper, bite me) and today's paper included a letter from the route guy saying he quit, so paper routes for two papers are automatically canceled because there is no one to take his place. It's not clear from the tone if the letter is REALLY from him or from a boss – it's in the first person but it's peak NO ONE WANTS TO WORK and includes information on how to apply. I can understand not wanting to deliver papers. Unlike the fantasies of boomers, it's a job that requires a car here, it's 7 days a week, and has no security or benefits whatsoever, usually requiring people to pay their own gas, too. I wonder if this sort of thing will cause changes, or if the level of deliveries is so low they'll just decide to cancel delivery service…

Suppose land was free what is basic minimum amount to build a 1500 sq foot house that is just a normal house ( pass building codes and not some shack slapped together )

I'll provide mine. I use to work in a big tech company in Canada as a team lead of decent size. One morning, a flash snowstorm hits us, from 10 to 12, about a feet of snow fell and there was another foot announced for the rest of the day. I showed up to work as most of the team except for management who decided to work from home ( a perk only they had ). Around 11, I send an teams message to my superior saying the weather is awful and would asked if people could finish up and leave early. No response. Around 12:30, I make the call to send my team home for their safety. Send a message on the team channel to tell them to wrap up and go home. Not even 20 seconds after I sent said message, manager who didn't respond to me sends…
