    True, but the bloke has access to a.i. so he can’t be that far off the beaten track. Chuzhou looks like it’s a pretty sizeable city as well.

    And I’m not sure what that has to do with working until you die. Mind you, I have no retirement savings, so that’ll probably be me, too, but at least I’m not doing hard physical labour.

      A lot of farmers love the land. I had loved ones who kept boutique farming between chemo treatments. Nurturing living things to do cool stuff for people (like be food and clothes and drugs) is gratifying. People just want to do that sometimes.

      He just needs to be somewhere with cell phone service.

      There are rural areas of the world where people still use oxen to pull their plows rather than a tractor, but these days they have cell phones.
