"He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman. He who works with
his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."
- Saint Francis of Assisi
"Again, we have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that capitalism grew and prospered out of the Protestant
ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is that capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves
and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor; both black and white - both here and abroad."
- Martin Luther King Jr. - "The Three Evils of Society" (1967)
"Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, 'What shall we do with the
Negro?' I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief
with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm eaten at the
core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any
way, except by nature's plan - and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs,
let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs!"
- Frederick Douglass - "What the Black Man Wants" (1865)
"America is profoundly disconnected. We're working to change that."

AUTOMATION-PROOF CAREERS & ENTREPRENEURSHIP
MILLINER = One who makes hats
Though millinery is mostly automated, to have a custom made hat, picking the materials used, as well as, "the perfect
fit," ensures this career will never go away.
COBBLER = One who makes shoes
Custom made shoes involves more than size and shape. Health needs like arches and even accommodating bunions come into
the equation. Every person's feet are different, so no, this career will never go away.

"In the age of two-day shipping and planned obsolescence, we’ve come to look at the things we own as largely disposable,
with devastating consequences for our environment, our communities and ourselves. Recent EPA estimates put the total generation
of municipal solid waste at roughly 292.4 million tons each year.
In a little over a generation, we’ve transformed from a society of “Use It Up, Wear It Out, Make it Do, or Do
Without” to a society of “Dig, Burn, Dump.” Gone are the days of family heirlooms and the passing down of
gifts from generation to generation. As we face the intersecting crises of climate change, environmental degradation and waste
management, calls for right-to-repair legislation and a transition to a circular economy are gaining momentum.
On Dec. 28, 2023, the nation’s first comprehensive right-to-repair law went into effect. New York State’s Digital
Fair Repair Act requires manufacturers to make parts, tools and guides needed to repair items available to everyone."

"All the work shut down
The evening turned to rain (The evening turned to rain)
Watched the water roll down the drain
As we followed him down -
To the station
And though he never would wave goodbye
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye-bye"
Actually, trams / streetcars and trains are happily back! And this means an abundance of careers!
London, England
The Brits are busier than ever re-building their rail infrastructure -for people and freight. They know the trains carried
all the heavy lifting, thereby eliminating most truck usage. [There is no such thing as a, "Clean truck." They
know, like their fellow Europeans, that they must prepare for population explosion, as London is a, "Mega City."

"This streetcar, built by United Streetcar, LLC. (a division of Oregon Iron Works), is the first modern-design streetcar
to be built in the United States. The vehicle was delivered by truck this morning, and unloaded onto the tracks at the
Portland Streetcar maintenance facility. The design is based on streetcars built by Skoda in the Czech Republic, but updated
to use parts from US suppliers and to meet the needs of US-based customers."
