Amazon evens maintains dispensers ofBruder spent nearly 4 years exploring the lives of retirees who have fallen out of the middle class and now travel the country in often substandard RVs, campers, and trucks. My husband and I listened in the car, I said how many stars, he said three, I bellowed 5, it's a topic I knew zip about and I was hanging on every word.
I feel sad that there aren't more options in our country for work and healthcare and housing. I've followed this lifestyle and various van swelling you-tubers for years, therefore, I have conflicted feelings about the context of this book. What happens to middle class folks after they turn a certain age and lose their jobs, retire on meager social security, or decide they can't crash with their kids and grandkids anymore? Similar to the book "Evicted"(Matthew Desmond), the author entered into a community, in this case-- work campers, following them on the road and working some of their jobs. In these strange days of quarantine and isolation, books can be a mode of transport. Nomadland offers various talking points to ponder over and deliberate such as vehicle dwelling, the nomadic lifestyle, and economic issues. Not at all what I was expecting, but an engrossing read nonetheless.
Because they can't afford the lifestyle we should all hope retired workers receive.This was a brutal and powerful read about the ways in which older Americans are "making due" while having little money to live off in their older years. Bruder follows in her own van (“Halen”), writing with a fine eye for details and a nonjudgmental pen, as May works hard to create her new way of life—or, rather, to recreate the unflappable pioneer spirit that got this country going in the first place. More to come.For the record, I've never liked camping.
by W. W. Norton Company [Doesn't anyone else get books passed on from other readers? I wish they could take that ingenuity and find away to make money so they weren't forced to live in a van.This is a well-researched look at the lives of RV, van, and car dwellers. After doing that job for the summer months, she moved on to work in an Amazon warehouse for the months leading up to the holiday season. Really don't like boondocking in the desert, prefer tress and water nearby. Published In the case of Linda May, she took social security at 62 (which, because it is not full retirement age, imposes a financial penalty). Am a full time RVer and love it. I am truly surprised I made it through to the end. I am angry that people in their 60s and 70s need to work 10 hour days in transient jobs like those in Amazon warehouses.

Walmart will mostly turn a blind eye and allow overnight parking. (Amazon provided pain killer dispensers in their warehouses.) Living off the grid is not as easy as I thought. I have always known Amazon to be a problem with their workers, of course, but this was something else all together. This article about a book on economics or finance is a stub. I can't imagine living in my vehicle, maybe in a travel trailer! I feel sad that there aren't more options in our country for work and healthcare and housing. (This aspect of the book reminded me of Barbara Ehrenreich's "Nickled and Dimed".) These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads.From the beet fields of North Dakota to the campgrounds of California to Amazon’s CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older adults. The hours are long and the job brutal. Despite being in their 60s and 70s, all these jobs entail hard, physical labor at a punishing pace for very low wages. She interviewed many folks, but followed a few in more detail. Some live in vans, some in very old RVs, some even in cars.
These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads. I thought it was a particularly poignant read after reading Nomadland takes a deep look at the growing culture of van-dwellers and other nomads that attempt to live on the road, because they can't afford to live otherwise. This is the American dream gone awry for a sizable portion of 21st century retirees. Some had their houses foreclosed, or could no longer pay their rent and afford food. Hope this helps.
