I think most ppl here are DIY…this is a diy forum.... which means we are different. We do things for ourselves vs depending on other ppl.
I use to challenge ppl to do things like diy for themselves.
Some ppl come up with good reasons as to why they can’t DIY. Some ppl for instance should not be around electricity.
Some reasons are acceptable for why ppl can’t diy… and it means we are NOT EQUAL
Never mind what is preached “we are all the same and we are all equal.” I think that has been proven wrong many times.
Again Some ppl have a permanent can’t do anything attitude and won’t even try.. Their excuses fly…
Always figured if I do a job myself get the new knowledge and tools to do new things again at a later time vs paying other ppl to do it over and over. Maybe For myself or other family - friends. Great way to save money…..if ppl have the time. Money is time …. I’ve never understood how ppl making minimum wage can pay for most everything without going further in debt-using credit cards. That is what many of them do and double down on being broke - poor. Necessity has always motivated ppl ….me .
I THINK: What is in our future is going to require a whole lot of diy ……. Or we are going to die sooner than expected. Ppl that can’t diy are probably going to be victims.
Ppl need water, food, shelter, and clothing to deal with elements.
Your meme shows a person stranded doing what use to be taught never leave a crash site - wait to be rescued …. At some point we figure out have to save ourselves. No one is coming. Despite the old teachings of staying at the crash site to be rescued. Some problems are old taught ways that must be altered. Dependency vs Independent.
The Govt wants us dependent on them.
At the same time this is our Govt watching us. Imagine if we watched them in like wise manner.
