watching my parents.\u003cbr\u003e It was hard labor, requiring work until late at night with few days off a year.\u003cbr\u003e My parents only had the day off for Lunar New Year and Chuseok.\u003cbr\u003e Before starting his own business, my father used to wake up at dawn when he was working at a company, but after starting a meat restaurant, he didn't get out of bed until noon.\u003cbr\u003e I could no longer see my mother waking up early in the morning to prepare breakfast.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.13\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, I took out a new loan.\u003cbr\u003e Large sums of money, which I had never touched in my entire life, were disappearing by the millions of won every month.\u003cbr\u003e In the end, I ended up taking on over 50 million won in debt from various banks and third-party financial institutions over the course of two years.\u003cbr\u003e Even if you work at someone else's store for a day, you can earn 2.5 to 3 million won a month.\u003cbr\u003e But I was tormented by the thought of what I was doing with my own hands.\u003cbr\u003e I couldn't understand the absurd reality of maintaining a store with a bank loan.\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, all I received from the government was a subsidy equivalent to a few months' rent as compensation for the restrictions on business operations.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As time passed and I worked with many part-time workers, at some point the hiring criteria I had created based on my own prejudices became meaningless. \u003cbr\u003eThe reasons why I chose the part-timers I've worked with so far are because they resembled a close friend from high school, because I felt bad when he lost in the student body president election, because I thought he would be strong because he was in the physical education department, because he seemed to work hard despite coming from the countryside, and because I felt bad when I heard he got fired because business wasn't going well in other places.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.82\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Baedal Minjok, Coupang Eats, and Yogiyo seem to have become the creators of the metaverse world.\u003cbr\u003e In the real world we live in, locations are determined and rents are determined based on population and accessibility.\u003cbr\u003e However, platform companies create virtual worlds and place stores that pay more for advertising prominently on their apps, while pushing stores that don't pay advertising fees to remote areas like the remote countryside in the mountains. \u003cbr\u003eNo matter how delicious the food is, if you open a store in a mountain valley, business will not be good, so if you want to do business, you must pay for advertising.\u003cbr\u003e Platform companies, like the Creator, create a virtual metaverse world and repeatedly place and move countless stores here and there based on advertising costs.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Like most self-employed people, I spend every day the same way.\u003cbr\u003e From Monday to Sunday, I open the store at the same time every day, repeat the same work for over 10 hours, and then close the store, continuing a repetitive life.\u003cbr\u003e In the past, I was tired of the repetitive daily routine that didn't allow me to rest properly or have time to pursue hobbies.\u003cbr\u003e But now, perhaps because I'm used to it, I've come to accept the days passing by as expected and as usual as a routine that passes by without any problems.\u003cbr\u003e Unless you're going to close down right now, this is good for your mental health.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.203\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThere is a saying, “A foolish question gives a wise answer.”\u003cbr\u003e This is an idiom meaning to give a wise answer to a foolish question, but among public officials it is also used to mean, “The answer to our problems lies in the field.”\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, articles are published every day about high-ranking officials and politicians actively calling for better administration and visiting the field to listen to complaints.\u003cbr\u003e But I'm not sure if I actually heard the unvarnished voices from the field.\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps the aides and staff were there according to a well-planned script.\u003cbr\u003e Did they really tell it as it was on the scene?\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.220
