Neoliberals on one side, technocratic oligarchs on the other, and Evangelical anti-intellectualism on the flanks. It’s an actual fucking conspiracy.

How much reading do the average service job, or even many office jobs, really require?
A lot. Office work is all paper work. Even past that, lots of factory work requires you to be able to read enough to see where things go.
I’ve never known a functionally illiterate person to work in an office setting. I’ve known a whole lot who work at the docks or refineries, which I really believe is why all the safety training for those is done through oral lectures and videos.
