Best job i ever had was maintenance guy at a nursing home. Loved it. Rewarding. Fulfilling. Paid only $10.75/hr so i left it and ‘developed my career’ and now im ‘successful’ but at least once a week i have dreams where im back in the home hanging pictures, flirtin with the ol gals, being useful.

So when people ask ‘who fixes toilets under communism?’ my answer is a resounding ‘me. I will fix the toilets.’

    You’re absolutely right, but if the choice is replacing your truck suspension for $1,000 every 2 years or poorly patching the road outside your house for a days worth of work and $100 in materials a year…

    It’s not optimal, but needs must. A poor road repair is still cheaper than none.

    Edit: While my comment sorta makes sense, I really thought you were replying to the guy who talked about his neighbors doing road repair. But that’s not who you were replying to!
    I replied in a context that does not exist. Sorry!
