Welcome to Hive, @hhm92t—your account of moving from automation studies to gathering wild za’atar shows how sharply your daily reality differs from the future you and your father worked toward. The $45 transit cost against a $90 salary makes that hardship painfully concrete, and I’m sorry you’re facing those choices. If your connection allows, InLeo Threads (inleo.io) could be a place to share shorter updates from the fields and connect with others interested in engineering or farming. Is there a small automation project you’d still like to build, if you had access to the parts?
