use my body all day
Be careful what you wish for comrade. As someone who's done physical jobs most of my life I'm gunning for a desk gig now. Shit gets tiring after a while. Also working out is way better for your health than brute manual labor.
I wanna work in a public kitchen making stews and chili and rice and cornbread and hummus and beans and quinoa all day. Wearing really good shoes, with a very supportive floor and great ventilation / cooling.
Socialism doesn't want you to sacrifice your body for The Money Line. Things would be fundamentally different.

I've worked a lot in factories with concrete floors, the best boots with the best insoles money can buy can only do so much.

This is true. More time off, more breaks, better healthcare, better PPE, ect, ect, would make manual labor jobs a lot more tolerable, even perhaps enjoyable depending. But unless we're talking FALGSC level stuff there certain realities of physics and the human body that's always gonna make certain jobs taxing, the immortal science of Marxism isn't going to make standing in steel toes on a hot factory floor paradise.
I honest don't hate doing more manual work, hell I actually kinda like driving a forklift, but the more I get into my 30s the more a desk chair looks appealing to me.
Working with your hands is overrated as fuck if I’m being honest. Been doing it my whole life so far and although I make okay money, all it really means is you’re two paychecks from poverty instead of one, with the catch being your body hurts like a motherfucker because you have to push yourself when doing these jobs. Yes socialism will alleviate some of that burden, but carrying weight and stressing your body is going to use it up regardless. It’s just physics
Get an office job with a warehouse component so you can balance both
You will pull me out of my work from home gig over my dead body
Ok then get a treadmill you can put your laptop on and work from that
That's the dream
Go work out :/
You go work out
Fatty
I am, lol.
I know how you feel, I'd like to do something constructive like build a community garden, plant a thousand trees, tear down car-centric infrastructure rather than sit at my job all day accruing obesity points and adding to the car congestion, but alas.
My job is a mix of both. It is really nice sometimes to just run around sorting things or fighting people then going back to doing paperwork.
