Running water and indoor plumbing was relatively common in the ancient world.

really ?
In 1920, only *** 1% of US homes** had indoor plumbing

@teft

even if this were true, it is true only if you have time rest and rejuvenate, and in particular rest after an injury

tht option often not available to people working at lower wage jobs

right ?

re the 1,000x
if you read the comments in the thread you posted, several people point out this is just ludicrouis

so I"m not quite sure what I should have said to you when you post something that is absurd
seriously, what am I to say ?

@SteveKLord
I was born in 1953 and my image of people doing labor like this , based on how we perceived people in low income countries, is of a person whose body was worn out by age 30

to a large extent progress is humans not having to do heavy manual labor
sheesh

@stabby_cicada

I distrust toots that assert something without providing a link
I was lucky and found a link to the 31K figure; sounds partially like it does NOT apply to all homeless people, just some small percentage, so probably a bullshit number

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars

this bloomberg piece talks about the hype that surrounded Musk

I wonder how much of that hype came fro slavish pieces written by bloomberg

that would be typical: first the media create a problem (hyping musk) then pretend they had nothing to do with the problem
