And the location of the resources to get stuff done.
Road repair can’t be done from a home setting.
Road repair project management can’t be done from a home setting.
Seems the professor is telling everyone to “learn to code”.
Eff the roads ‘cuz aren’t going to need them.
In a required course for my BS in computer science I had to make a pre-compiler from scratch. In my operating systems class I had to write the memory management module. My learning to code required a lot more real work than simply writing essays about the evil of white people like a lot of others did to get their "education".
That’s it. I worked for a Fortune 100 company that allowed a lot of hybrid work ten+ years before the pandemic and already had discovered how unproductive it was. Depending on conference calls and intranet collaboration rooms rather than Zoom at least was somewhat secure, rather than posting every aspect of your business for the Chicoms. It started with “globarlization” i.e. outsourcing to China and India and Easter EU but then execs figured it would be nice to just stay in their comfy home offices rather than commute or move to where businesses were actually located. They called it “part of being a global company” but it sucked. For several years our CEO tried to run a 20-location business unit out of his basement office in a Chicago suburb. It sucked. Finally the brass realized it and rolled it back, then a few years later the pandemic hit and people working there told me it was like deja-vu all over again...
Zackly. If they had their way, they’d have you work, play, eat, sleep, shop, maintain, and entertain yourself in the tiny patch you call home. If they had their way, 99% of humanity would live on 1% of the earth’s available landmass. The remaining 1% of humans would freely roam, exploit, and control the rest of the planet.
Same with almost all “essential” jobs they declared. Know someone working at the VA, did not get to go home ever, now with bad pay, worse benefits after 17 years, if he does not take the shot, hes fired. FJB
It can't be done with five guys standing around with shovels either........
Some of us do know how to code. And do other engineering and/or technical tasks. I work at home at least 3 days a week. I have a lab in my barn (very rural Alabama) you’d think was from a mad-scientist movie. I love it.
