What is Weekly Maloche?
Maloche is a German word for hard work—the kind you do with your hands, not your laptop. Blue-collar work. There’s some irony in using it for a newsletter, but the spirit fits: I put in the hours to understand something, then write it up so you don’t have to.
Weekly Maloche is about blue-collar services and the forces that keep them stuck. Plumbers, electricians, roofers, and elder care—sectors where productivity hasn’t budged in decades, while costs keep climbing.
