schestowitzBut..Jun 16 23:07
schestowitzIf you move more employees into their houses, then too fewer staff like cleaners and shopkeepers would be needed in townJun 16 23:07
abeNd-orgi could do a lot of what i do remotely as well, but some customers want to see people working onsiteJun 16 23:08
schestowitzIn which case the jobs distribution can change rather widely and people are then using the sockets -- not the city premises -- as hubsJun 16 23:08
abeNd-orgi would be happy to employ a housekeeper, it would free me up to study moreJun 16 23:08

qu1j0t3abeNd-org: exactlyJun 16 23:19
qu1j0t3abeNd-org: i think we should deeply question the way the status quo is constructed.Jun 16 23:20
