It’s actually quite easy there. You work a couple of days a month and there are gyms for working out everywhere. I’d probably trade that for the power issues once a decade.

You also get reported for catching too many fish, or growing too many plants. Because if you did that, you could sell them, or save up enough to leave.

what a wild comment, could be right up there with "slaves had it easy", you feel that being forced to live in third-world conditions and then being denied fuel as an act of war is somehow a paradise? go flip your main circuit-breaker for a week and lock away your phone/tablet, let us know how that "paradise" goes for you there's like three MILLION immigrants from Cuba here who fled seeking asylum for damn good reason (it's why our moron-in-chief thinks seeking asylum = from insane-asylum)

You think so? How much actual time have you spent without power, pumped water, climate control, phone service, refrigerated food supply, or fuel in a tropical climate? Me, nine years. Intentionally. In a location far enough from population density that sustainability was obtainable, but with the option to hike out and avail myself of any and all of those conveniences when the rain was low enough to make the fast flowing waters passable - sometimes using a rope safety line to wade out, other times dry crossings. The first two years were much harder, but by the end the excursions 'out' of the jungle were not more frequent than once per quarter, sometimes as few as twice a year. Change those wild conditions to a location with significant population density and citizens habituated to any and all of those conveniences; even in a small measure, and things are confoundingly harder with significant risk to life through the interruption in those services without the surrounding natural habitat and developed skills to survive. So, the 'there are workout gyms everywhere' is a tone expected from a frat brat, crypto bro with limited applied experience and a vanishingly small capacity for empathy. Is that the note you were trying to hit?
