#farmwork
Kai is somewhere from in between city & country. He is a Floridian country boy at heart, so he spent a large chunk of his time in rural areas doing country boy stuff...like fishing, off-roading, (small amounts of) farmwork, etc. He's seen the beach more times than he can count also.

Is your character from the city? Or are they considered rural? Maybe something in between?

D&D wizards in 1e were proven to be killable by house cats. Literally by the monster manual stats.

I went with that for Alex. He’s done farmwork, not a wimp per se. But not a kung fu action hero like dr. Strange movies

So he has to be clever. Like all the wimpy kids standing up to bullies

My forearm's been hurting bad for a while, but I can't do much about it since it's overstrain from the heavy farmwork and- morning wake up stress relief

Sadly one of those things is gonna have to stop for a while and we all know a farm doesn't rest for strains. Sucks when I badly need stress relief

I guarantee you when RFK talks about great it would be if people with mental health issues should be outdoors doing farmwork, Stephen Miller hears "rounding up into labor camps".

There's always farmwork. Housecleaning. Restaurants. Home Depot. You know, lots of sectors where they now have worker shortages. That's what they wanted, right? The jobs... immigrants were taking their jobs away? Well now they have them back.

i know these people don't do any of the actual farmwork (assuredly they have workers who milk their cows) because if anyone has ever seen how nasty and covered in shit cows constantly are, they'd do everything in their power to nuke all that bacteria from orbit.

People who think farmwork is unskilled labor. That anyone can do it kill 1 pothos in a pot. They overwater cacti. They can touch their toes.

Uncivilization risks the lives of those who do not own the best properties.
If city dwellers want to do farmwork, they would do better volunteering at community gardens growing salads and fruit for elementary school children, like the Aglantis.org CoCoSan Sustainable Farm, which feeds thousands.

Who has been killed by the US in Venezuela?

"Chad Joseph, according to the complaint, “lived with his wife and their three children in Las Cuevas, Trinidad.” He traveled to Venezuela to fish and find farmwork. “On October 12, he called his wife to let her know that he had found a boat ride home.”

I happily accept the conditions of the application. Where do I sign?

Wait this is just for simple farmwork right?

( Chicken is the ideal. This is a great premise and TF trigger. )

Many job openings are obviously open in farmwork. If those aren't filled, it will be hurting us even more in the grocery stores.

I hate this saying, but it's so fitting to extend to Trump supporters:

Who's going to pick your cotton now?

Farming bailouts coming soon.

Mitali's also often dirty from the hard work he does, especially later on in the book, as he takes on farmwork.

Lots of little details.

Today, if you pay a[n US] dollar for a pound of apples in the supermarketm only about six cents covers the farmwork used to get it there; (...)

It seems as though their native intelligence might have been mildly better for the sake of not having a phone/modern conveniences to brainfry them. They probs could do farmwork etc decently, for instance. Idk, spitballing.

My story takes place in a small, rustic village so there are a lot of farm animals around! Chickens are mentioned a lot. I think I even gave one a name, but I can't remember it. Mitali learns how to do some farmwork, so he gets to see the animals.

If you have animals who live alongside your other characters (pets, companions, roomies), what are they and how do they feature?

calloused hands shift to rest on the shorter's waist, grasp firm, warm, and gentle. "in yer dreams, sweetheart." his grasp grows stronger as he carefully lifts william, allowing him to reach the fruit he was after. thank yoba for all that farmwork...
the trunk is smooth and forks off too high for him to hoist up. black head of hair flicks to and fro, scanning for a rock or fallen trunk in this overgrown isolated patch of countryside. "you could help by gettin' on yer hands 'n knees."
smile twitching at the corners of his lips, leaning against the tree will was trying to climb, arms crossed. "looks like yer in need of some help."

What this warmonger that gives all of us with messy greying hair the worst of names is saying is that AI will replace all white collar work, forcing people to fight it out for the kind of low paid "vocational" work (so nursing, caring, farmwork, cleaning, etc) immigrants typically end up doing
“There will be more than enough jobs for the citizens of your nation, esp. those with vocational training,” said Karp. “I do think these trends really do make it hard to imagine why we should have large-scale immigration unless you have a very specialized skill.”

Palantir CEO Says AI to Make Large-Scale Immigration Obsolete
Artificial intelligence will displace so many jobs that it will eliminate the need for mass immigration, according to Palantir Technologies Inc. Chief Executive Officer Alex Karp.

Yep and he claims to be a farmer. Most people who do farmwork are based in reality. He lives in a science nonfiction world of trumpism. He could not acknowledge reality if his life depended on it. He is just a useful idiot.

With my distant ancestor in the early-18th century, it was basically a farmwork for X years in return for passage contract as I recall
