I don't get why you think Republicans don't believe in science.
* But there are plenty of conservatives and liberals, both, managing their
own rental properties as their job AND teaching/mentoring others to
do the same to become financially independent:
Real Estate Investing Education and Mentoring | Lifestyles Unlimited is the founding network in Houston
that branched off when some mentors formed their own company
to handle multiple forms of investment; both have professional investors
who have won national awards in apartment management and connected
with the top developers in Houston who are involved in most of the deals.
* The local community business leader in my neighborhood who is Republican
manages property development and created a site proposal for both
-- a youth center with production music studio training program
-- a vet housing and home health program embedded in a plan
to save historic housing
Freedmen's Town Historic Churches and Vet Housing
So these Republicans create their own jobs for themselves
and for others providing educational and social services,
but from a free enterprise approach. The neighborhood plans
could possibly integrate HUD and govt sources for Vets, but the other
real estate development is purely free enterprise and independent of govt.
* My Republican friend Vern Wuensche who ran for President twice to
study the system from a small business leader perspective works full time
at his own contracting and renovation business.
* My Republican friend Lyndon Joslin is a published author of a movie anthology,
as he is a scriptwriter and editor, and also works in radio and proofreads
historical and academic textbooks.
* some of the managers at my warehouse shipping job are conservative,
and they have worked for different companies doing shipping or stock/inventory control
* another Republican friend collaborated with a team of other investors to set up a home health retirement home type complex, again using free enterprise
So you could even create hospitals and schools and jobs that way
without relying on govt; most Republicans I know (because I live in Texas)
PREFER to set up businesses themselves and not pay all these taxes to federal
govt just to fight over where the money is going to go, they prefer to invest
the money and profits they earn into developing institutions with direct
accountability and not rely on going through govt where you lose track
when the bureaucracy gets too big, and there is risk of losing
accountability and follow up on funding/decisions when you don't
have direct control of who is going to be in charge and stay in charge.

I'm serious. If you don't believe in science and have no skills, what is it you expect to do? Without infrastructure spending, there are no jobs needing "unskilled labor". And Republicans don't want infrastructure spending. What's left?

Three million open jobs in U.S., but who's qualified? - CBS News
Republicans blame it on Obama, but block any spending on education, technical schools, Jr. Colleges and so on.
What is their leadership offering and what is it the base thinks they are qualified for?
