Why a draperist?


There's so many jobs a Terminator could end up doing that would make him much more efficient in supporting a family. His physical strength/endurance as well as computing ability open so many possibilities.

I haven't seen the movie but which one would arouse your suspicions about his nature?... the big lunk who hauls around drapes, or the no-humour dude who can outrace / out muscle / etc every other cop / security guard on the force without any obvious working out / special diet (does he even eat? I dunno...).

Or the hulking dude at the computer terminal who appears to need no sleep, has no social life, etc. but can out think the workstation he's at as well as every other Silicon Valley co-worker / accountant whatever in his office.

Plus the danger that he might inadvertently give away his true nature to people who would realize something is fishy... remember that scene in T1? T2? at the gun shop when he asked for some sort of 'phased pulse' weapon or something similar?

I'm just spitballin' here, but you get the idea. He wouldn't want to be in an environment where his co-workers might ask questions about him.

You also get into the issue of security background checks to get into things like law enforcement, or para-law situations.

It was to cuck Arnie once and for all.

Arnie's in a sexless marriage, a beta boy for a single mother, raising the child of another man, white-knighted for her against an 'abusive' boyfriend/husband (aren't they all, lolz), working a job in interior decor that's normally associated with fags - it's all there.

Cameron's a Woke! whoremonger, and a piece of shit that's been sucking at the government tit to fund his vanity side-projects for decades. He'll produce the garbage he's been told to produce. If there's a god, his submarine will experience a crack at 30000 ft next time around.

My thoughts exactly. Combine this with a Mexican accent girl that likes to complain about how people are "too White" being humanity's leader and you get a movie's wokeness on more steroids that Arnold took during his Gold's gym years.

Yep, in a collapse of civilization where it's brawn over brains, a 5'1" mouthy broad will find herself a sex-slave first, then a slave when she's worn-out, then dead (and probably cannibalized) - she will not find herself the leader of a new humanity.

For all her hatred of Whitey, she's too stupid to look at the patent rolls and discover that all that tech developed over the centuries, from washing machines to medical devices, was 99% developed by pale stale males.

The gals aren't very bright, and are their own worst enemies - but that's the job of Hollywood, to sell fantasies to idiots on behalf of government social engineers.

He's a self employed draper, invited to peoples homes to do his work, i.e. less out in public where he might not pass such close scrutiny.

Does he need to provide a Social Security Number to be a draper? He certainly would if he worked for someone else.

He's trying to stay under the radar whilst still blending in enough to be just another person.

"Does he need to provide a Social Security Number to be a draper? He certainly would if he worked for someone else."

Of course he does. He would need a business license and he'd need to file his taxes. You'll get asked for your SSN in both cases. According to the IRS, anyone over the age of 18 who receives income needs to have an SSN.

"He's trying to stay under the radar whilst still blending in enough to be just another person."

There are countless jobs that make a lot more sense, such as a carpenter, mechanic, plumber, electrician, or better yet, jobs where he doesn't even have to leave his house, such as making stuff at home and selling online, or he could be, e.g., a gunsmith. Also, the idea that he'd have a family is asinine.
