Did you know that aircraft mechanics were considered unskilled labor until the job was “reclassified” during the Cold War due to the demand for laborers?

From a cultural sense, both farmers and bricklayers are absolutely considered unskilled by the general public. The average person makes no difference between the generic construction labor usually done by illegal immigrants (in the US) and a bricklayer.

In college I finally understood the quadratic equation. We had to use it to calculate the optimal amount of fertilizer to spread per acre.

The masonry field is skilled in design, engineering, etc. Bricklayers, not so much.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won’t be tolerated.
