From the comments

"Swedish Candle". Three axial chainsaw cuts. Build a small fire on top of the log. Embers drop down. Length of cuts is enough to pull a draft.

Alternate method: Split log into quarters or sixths. Re-assemble the wedges but in a different order so they don't fit line-to-line. Bind them with a couple wraps of wire. Light small fire on top.

Work-from-home

Healthcare jobs have the lowest rates of unemployment world-wide. Delivering babies and changing bandages is hands-on work. You cannot phone-in your performance.

"So, you wanna work-from-home? No problem!"

I heard a lot of griping from people who were working "essential services" jobs curing Covid and had to keep working their minimum wage + $5/hr jobs. They were griping because people who made three times their wages could sit at home and get government checks or they could work-from-home via the internet. 

So, guess which jobs are difficult for AI to replace? Pharmacy techs, nurses, dudes stocking Kroger's shelves, truck drivers, plumbers and factory workers.

All of those non-essential workers and people who gleefully agreed to work-from-home volunteered to be in the first tier of employees displaced by AI.

But fear not. They can always work in the organic farm fields pulling weeds. 

Leverage

There was a thread in a previous post exploring "How can regular people be effective in these tumultuous times?"

Arguing endlessly with the "tools" and "ratchets" on the internet isn't effective. It doesn't change anybody's minds and the t&r enjoy the feeling of power.

To be effective, the people who need to be converted or replaced are elements in the Command-and-Control structure.

A short (and incomplete) list:

• Judges
• Clerks who assign cases (The odds of Boasberg randomly getting four Trump EO challenges in-a-row is approximately 1-in-38,000)
• County and Township clerks who run elections (the clerk of Ingham County is a proud, hard-left activist) 
• School boards
• HR departments
• Credentialing organizations (States threatened to remove doctor's credentials if they didn't toe-the-line during Covid) 
• People corrupting Wikipedia entries by larding articles with language that changes their meaning

With regard to the last category on the list, the Left immediately pivoted to "Both sides are guilty of political violence" and then hold up the murder of Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota State Senator as their (only) example.

The article was modified/written to front-load information where "experts" and "a neighbor" speculated that the perp was a hard-right, MAGA extremist. It also noted that he was registered as a Republican in 2004. Parenthetically, Donald J. Trump was a registered Democrat in 2004.

The evidence that the perp had switched sides and was attempting to curry favor with Governor Walz (failed US VP candidate, by the way) was buried deeply (744 words deep) in the text and each piece of evidence was immediately "qualified" or diluted by low-quality commentary.

Since the perp fully expected to be killed in his assassination attempts, his "manifesto" is basically a suicide note which are generally considered to be very honest and are considered "admissible evidence" in criminal court cases.

That editing, that is, the ordering of the text and the one-sided "poisoning" of the evidence with partisan commentary gives talking heads like Jessica Tarlov air-cover to make statements like "The violence is from both sides".

The NPCs, tools and ratchets then take Tarlov's comments and use them to fill their echo-chamber.
