Own your own arseholes whatever you do. A debtor, forever tenant, or just-a employee never be. The secret of all is to invest in your talents (skills) which it seems you and yours have a good start. Unless your region has an alienated working/lower class who will burn the intelligencia for bringing the world their dark craft, there is hope. Anywhere there are markets there will be opportunities for the skillful. If I were addressing your masses (in the hundreds of thousands) I would speak in my epic oratory voice (who has seen *it all) to invest in your own asses. Infrastructure and cooperatives you own. Trusts and communities among you who do not want to rent their lives. Do not follow blindly the intoxicating free for all of imminent western trends. These collapse when challenged as all else. Owning your own everything is the best of any future.

> Owning your own everything is the best of any future. This doesn't scale. Division of labor, specialization of trade. Self-sufficiency is a delusion because you're not going to be fabricating chips or building an entire vertical supply chain for a phone by yourself anytime soon.

  This delusion of any such thing is your sir. I suggest nothing of the sort. I would like to point out your jump to extremes. Owning your own ass means a steak holder. Break the produce consume cycle with investments in personal steak. Buy in to the system. Be a link in the supply chain. This is age old advice, it merely must be retold to ourselves generationally. Our opportunities and risks will for ever be tethered by mutual dependencies. I think we can all see there are those who grow up into business owners, land owners, and valuable assets to their communities and those who never read “The Richest Man in Babylon.” (Sic.) In times of uncertainty we need to hear it from somewhere. We have to be told it’s okay to see ourselves as owning a steak, not merely subscribers.
