'Most people think it's a story about blue collar vs. white collar work. It isn't.'

k thx

short answer: mechanics, farmers, doctors.

Only the world's oldest profession

Repair, maintain, supply and produce. The basics of every economy.

great

In postapocalyptic times growing mushrooms is the key

My dads mechanical skills became super clutch during the pandemic. We had no money, no jobs. But because of my dads skills and knowledge in fixing cars, his friends and our neighbors always relied on my dad because the shops were closed.

But humanity cannot survive without dependency on each other

economic collapses dont discriminate in whose lives they take. the adaptable die just as much as those who lost their jobs. the infrastructure they built before the collapse might survive to the next generation but their own entire generation is basically fucked.

I always respect repair work for electrical / mechanical devices , and start learning fundamental by myself, even majority of people in my country have been spreading braindead mindset like `buy new one when it breaks , do not waste time effort fixing it` , which is horrible .

bro im from gaza, and what you said in this video apply to us here.

Hierarchical slavery and money/resource hoarding survives all

The problem is that the trades are oversaturated now too because we told everyone that they were ression proof in 2008 and now starting wages for the first 4 years are so low you can't move out and unions are loosing power.

So in sum. Nothing has really changed in over 100 years. He who is useful will always have food to eat. The more useful the more mates and opportunities

Soldiers and organized criminals.

I worked in customer service all my life. I’m getting older, and I can’t afford trade schools. I got no idea what career and skill to learn. Especially when my car is dying. I really don’t know what to do.

Don't go for dollars. Go for gold. One of the wars started just because some country wanna trade oil for gold.

I like to think that teaching others after mastering a reliable practice or skill is a definite way to contribute to human evolution. Basically, build a solid foundation of knowledge, then acquire experience through putting that knowledge into action, and then share the knowledge with others. This is why becoming proficient at communication is one of the cornerstones of humanity.

Until you look at the real state of things and realize the wealthy saw this coming and decided that they needed to make these skills obsolete so complete dependency is required, for example many vehicles are being designed and built around forcing the customer to use the manufacturers services to repair.

nice

Crime-Desperate and discarded people will begin to take from people around them; increasing the current criminal population and increasing your odds of being victimized. Expect debt, lay offs, medical bills, housing costs, foreclosure, bankruptcy and mental illness to increase crime and violence. A book called Dealing with Burglary and Home Invasion Robbery, may increase your odds of avoiding or surviving people behaving badly.

Youtube shows exactly what to show when huh.....

If I could do it all over I would’ve gotten into a trade earlier and tried to land a factory job. My trade is great but I’m in the construction and service side. It’s fine but the hours are crazy and compensation is slightly less than I’d be making in a factory.

The problem is, everyone's else shit gets fixed, but my own shit stays broken 😂😂

No wonder those capital beetards in the big companies are making things impossible to repair.
They don't want others to survive besides themselves. 😂😂😂

GOOD IDEA

What about the warrior/milita class? I mean ordinary citizens with knowledge and skill of warfare such as assembling, disassembling and repairing firearms, using them to fight and to hold sectors, cuz this is the only skill that works good both within an institution and without one.

Bullshit. History doesn't repeat itself — it just rhymes

✨✨😉

nice

Cool Video!!!

I'm indigenous and I was raised with the hunter gatherer mentality. I do not understand how people can live without survival skills. That's something I can't fathom.

The closing statement is hilarious

Adaptability and practical self-sufficiency are the timeless anchors that keep individuals resilient through every historic economic storm.

When society collapsed. The most important job is a job that could rebuild it

I have retained an excellent point about owners of dachas in the 90's Russia on merely owning land as opposed to having the knowledge to make and keep the land productive. Knowing how to produce food in urban environments, turn manicured lawns into food production units for example, is going to be crucial in the coming years

I wonder where nursing falls in this?

I have this raging idea of starting my own farm these days, I think I’ll do it, when the opportunity comes I’ll do it

Really annoying how slow and redundant you are. You took twenty minutes to list 4 types of skills.

When you have a functioning society knowledge based work is what advances society. When you re in a survival situation hard labor is whats needed the most.
