    The nice thing about living in a “not wealthy enough to become a corporate hellscape” country is that I can go down some random roads and get to the streets where independent vendors live, and buy any extremely spesific and small electronic component I want with individual pieces or handfulls for quite cheap.

      I was honesrly a bit culture shocked visiting sri lanka and seeing the vendor to vendor next to each other lining themselves for 1-2 km. Couldnt imagine each of then surviving on the amount of money they are making.

          Your village wont suffice for a day job and your daily meal.
          But there werent the big corporate shops there outside of the metropolitan areas.
