I'll take all you have. There's an infestation that I need to eliminate.

That's just wrong anyway you look at it. We haven't really done all that ourselves ever, and as soon as we settled down in permanent residential settings we began to specialize. People in London even 1000 years ago weren't mostly farmers or healers. Many were cobblers, and barbers were a numerous Medieval occupation. Blacksmiths do none of that, but it was a very valued profession amd while the blacksmith made nails for ships he wasn't a shipbuilder.
Basically we've always been dependent on the system we have because we are social animals who depend on others and society to flourish and survive. Even hunter-gathers have to depend on what someone else does.
And Empires and wealthy cities especially. Do you think the avergae Athenian or Roman citizen did those things? The Spartans had slaves for much of it so they could focus on military stuff.
And modern society has existed for over a century. Those Roaring 20s, excluding rural areas, weren't much different from what we have today. Industrialism changed much, but learning to harness and use electricity as we began doing in the mid 19th century is what really began to change things. Lots of people knew how to make candles before commercially viable electric lightbulbs were available. Now we have people amd machines that make both.
Clothes is an interesting one. Industrializing those, and shoes, made them cheaper and allowed for more people to have them (and other necessities that mass production made cheaper to make). Oh well. It's more time we have for our own pursuits, plus today it's gotten to a point where they are so readily available and cheaply made than anyone can start selling them online, even their own custom designs, and never actually see the product.
You mean ain't gonna win nothing nohow.

Studio 666 and Dream Widow. I forgot Dave Grohl can do some awesome old school metal.
If it's an infestation of Scotsmen,
you'll only attract more of them.

The post doesn't say every individual knew how to do each and every task. It was a collective "people." But a single village and it's outlying citizens were sustainable.
‘These boots are made for walking.’
Ok, well, I didn’t notice much of any boots in the video. With lyrics like those, you would think that there would be plenty of flashy boots in the music but there aren’t any.

These look like Reba boots. Are you watching The Voice?

They're no worse than the ones you normally wear (that @SalixIncendium gave you).
It was really nice of him to give me those.
