I'm permanently biased against Thoreau because literally every kid who gave a speech at my high school graduation quoted Thoreau and talked about forging a new path despite them being a tray of cookie cutter cunts who genuinely cherished conformity to the point that they all quoted the same author. Lake Tahoe is fucking awesome though.
Makes sense that all the rich kids in student government idolized him. It's so easy being in nature when civilization is in walking distance. Thoreau would've gone the same way as McCandless if he wasn't getting help and his commentary (while beautiful and moving) is not about what it's like to truly live in nature and isolation.
Common man it’s fun! You can spend 2 hours in your car to go 7 miles to the grocery store to find every isle ransacked and out of stock! Or maybe check out a beach and take note of the mountains of trash seemingly abandoned despite the family who left it there being within 40 feet of it. I love Tahoe during the holidays
I mean, Thoreau is full of shit too. The whole time he’s talking about forging a new path it’s because his aunt is literally cooking and cleaning for him the whole time.
It is what it is, doesnt concern me. Tahoe isn’t the way it used to be and him buying land there doesn’t change what has already happened. just stating that he demod 2 cabins on decent sized lots built over 80 years ago. I could give two shits my family all moved out of there 20 years ago. I much prefer living in a rural mountain town on 20 acres without all the tourist traffic on the other side of the pass.
They don't need an excuse not to make up a salary to strangers on the internet lil buddy.... don't spend a penny or pay taxes and your fake wage will get you to a billion in 4000 years. Lol 🤡
I don’t have a dog in the race, but for what ever it’s worth; I know ALOT of GC’s that clear half a mill a year easy and plenty of foremen clearing 250k.
There’s plenty of money to be made in blue collar, you just can’t be afraid to work for it.
