This. A lot of the earth doesn't look like this. And a lot of normal jobs are actively making it worse. Like, unfortunately you don't need to work for Nestle to be a part of that.

I'm not blaming any minimum wage worker at Amazon or retail or in factories of course. They got no choice. We live in a system where unemployment is ultimately better for the planet than a significant portion of jobs.
