I don't know that it's the wrong answer, but I am not flippantly going to go tell someone to go get machine gunned by the national guard, especially when I won't be joining them. If they are going to come to that conclusion,

At worst your wage would be tax discounted by that margin. You're competing on real cost, all you have to do is operate on a competitive basis against people with similar level of education, skill, and the unfortunately highly valuabl

There are a few places where you can work as an electrician without a license. Might be the same bumfuck places where solar or wind farms are. I think most of them are in the midwest or plain states. Where I live you can't but go fig

No, greed is a necessary component. Because under capitalism both parties don't execute the trade, rationally at least, unless both are greedily better off. Without greed it goes from a positive sum system to a destructive system beca

The best national security is for it to be in the interest of the counter party to trade with you rather than attack you. Tariffs and protectionism tilt the favor closer to attack. In the extreme, a nation that completely refuses to trade
