@phred78 Yeah, I read about that strike. It made me wonder what would happen if the deliveries to grocery stores in the states were disrupted for even just a week. Not a pretty picture. There’s a lot of security involved in trying be self-sufficient.
@pathfinder Exactly. It’s a huge ego boost (and mental health boost) to stop being so much of a consumer and actually be responsible for producing some of your own necessities. The high I get from creating something just doesn’t compare to getting paid for wasting my time.
@scamp That’s a great experience! It’s good to know that you’d be able to do it again if necessary. And you always have the “Well, the kitchen may be on fire, but at least I’m not in a tent.” Calm you down rationalization.
