First, cathexis is nonlinear.
It's not ever the case that simple hard work equals a great outcome.
We clearly see privileged or advantaged people harvesting the work of many others, and benefiting, and we clearly see hardworking people that never get a reward.
We do not have a first order system.
Second, yes. Brushing your teeth with your spit and fingernails only, and maybe some clay and frayed twigs, might take you two hours a day to properly do.

@npub1dm5…5sqe I am so glad that brushing my teeth doesn't take 2 hours a night.
Easy doesn't always mean cheap or worthless.

Steve Stroh was so butthurt about hearing that @ARDC leadership has straight up bullied women that he lashed out and blocked me.
This is the central problem with #hamradio and #diversity and #inclusion
When you tell people verifiable facts, whether delivered bluntly or with demure giggles and hair-flips, and they insist that their limited experience is the only truth they ever need - *these* people fully reveal themselves as the ones that will ensure continued abuse in the community.

@npub145u…hq7w @npub1txj…vj0d I was "today years old" when I learned of the existence of these setups (thanks to your comment).
