    My favorite thing I learned while researching for writing was that hunter-gatherers worked less hours than the modern human 🙃

    iirc the article stated ‘work’ as when they hunted, not for stuff like cooking and crafting

        There’s so much fucking land owned by the govt. They’re squeezing us together to keep their machine going.

          Which government are you talking about? Most land owned by the government in the U.S. is either worthless desert, contracted out to the private sector, or the small bit leftover that’s actually used by the federal government.
