Urf, one of the candidates for mayor of the region where I live said that if they won they'd make an industrial park to encourage jobs ... a third of the municipality is a nature reserve, half of it is a literal mountain, and the remainder is small farms. There are no roads big enough for a full size lorry, and there's a large industrial estate in the valley below which provides lots of jobs.
It just made me wonder if they were that corrupt or simply on drugs.
I've read the whole thread and nobody has said Spintires/Mudrunner/Snowrunner ... it's basically the same game, it just keeps evolving and it's impossible to really complete because by the time you do there's more levels released.
For me, driving big trucks through mud is repeatedly appealing.
I guess growing up in a rural area has given me a different perspective, ever since I was 11 I've had some sort of motorised transport and where I currently live has no public transport, so to me not having even a bicycle would feel like I was missing a limb
As someone who has been there before, time to get that CV up to date, get any linkedin stuff sorted, and use that free time to start browsing the jobs market so that you're ready.
I once didn't take that advice and promptly got dumped on my backside without the last month's pay because the whole thing had folded (I got paid a few months later through the liquidators, but that didn't help get my rent paid when I needed it!)
What happens when you want to go to a place that's outside of the immediate area you live in?
I can understand not owning a car (I wouldn't if I could get away with it), but then having no option for personal transportation, even rented, outside of cities would feel very claustrophobic to me
In the UK buses and taxis increasingly take cards, and are phasing out cash. Same goes for shops. Having a card becomes the norm because it's less fiddly and more convenient - great!
To open a bank account you need a fixed address and proof of ID in the form of a passport or driving license.
In the last year several thousand people have had bank accounts closed under the presumption of being a "politically vulnerable person", one example was a teacher who went to volunteer in Ukraine for while.
If your bank account is overdrawn you get fees and are unable to use your card.
My mother is 85 and doesn't understand ATMs, never mind online banking. The decreased access to cash has left her confused, and when stressed she can't remember her pin number.
So, the most vulnerable in society are gradually being squeezed out of the ability to live day-to-day thanks to cash being phased out ... the same is a desirable end-point for many capitalists elsewhere in the first world because they don't see the value of people on the bottom rung.
Grandmaster Flash, De La Soul, and Public Enemy would be good examples of rap that was politically and socially progressive, I'm sure a bit of digging would give a long list
