  • To me, lowering taxes and lessening regulations sounds like “We don’t want to break the whole system or aggravate you. We just want to make the system worse and make life harder for people who don’t have money”.

    The way I see it is that we could have lower taxes for working class people by taxing the rich more and reducing corporate welfare. We wouldn’t even have to compromise on our systems. If you’re in favour of those, that’s awesome – I haven’t met very many conservatives who think that way.

    But what’s wrong with regulations? Regulations are what stop corporations from cutting corners on health and safety in the name of profits. And we can see from practices around the world that not only does violating these tend NOT to sway public opinion enough that businesses will stop doing harmful things, but they will knowingly do these things and cause harm to people who couldn’t have known any better beforehand.





  • Of the ones I’m aware of, most jobs that can be done from home require strong (professional) writing skills. I know this isn’t a job application, and I recognize that English might not be your first language, so this may not be relevant to you.

    Some tips based on your post:

    • Apostrophes are almost never used to make words plural. (Allergy becomes allergies)
    • There, they’re, and there are different. “There” is like “where” and “here” (note the spelling). “They’re” = “they” + “are” (with the ’ symbolizing the missing “a”)
    • Adding apostrophes to your contractions (don’t, I’m, …) goes a long way in making your writing look professional.

    That said, you might be able to look for data annotation jobs, or even potentially transcription jobs. Video game play testing could also potentially be an option, but I’m not sure where to start looking there.




  • I go by…

    • Skilled labour: Jobs that require education or extensive training to be able to perform
    • Semi-skilled labour: Jobs that require minimal or no education, but require some extent of on-the-job training to be able to perform the basic duties.
    • Unskilled labour: Jobs that require no education, and can be effectively performed on day one by a new hire.

    I’m sure there’s also a “highly skilled labour” category that encompasses jobs that require extensive education, training, and practice, but I’m not really sure where to draw the line.
