microvacation is when you visit restroom, but don’t clock out

if you own more than 1000 in 30 years treasuries, you get a wall as a lazy bum. but for real, the goal of socialism is to work less, have control over what you work for and how much you work. As we don’t have full automation, edge case (able bodied, physically, mentally, socially) and not looking for work person shouldn’t automatically be considered a person we should fight for (i for one think those people are actually very rare, cause it’s boring as shit). Somebody grown and milled the flour you eat, you have to give something back (or you can do coop living, but have fun explaining there why you don’t want to do anything). Or you can live in log cabin with a gun, but that’s another thing, and not something those people would call lazy.

Now, there is a lot of work society doesn’t deem profitable and thus not compensating (be it elder care or young people care, home work etc), so again you can construct argument around that person not being “lazy” actually.

The danger of this argument, appearing reasonable on its face, is constructing labyrinth of means testing which hurts more people than it helps.

But when people imagine this type of person, they are doing some sort of reagan “black people in cadillac”, and likely being racist as well.

so choose your thingy as counterargument (means testing hurts more than helps, finance bros are more dangerous, caring for kids is work actually, “how did that work out for y’all since 80s, crackers?” - don’t work on people on the internet, cause it’s upper quintiles, “natural unemployment rate” is a thing they decided to accept)

ngl some graphs would benefit from log axis and 2d histograms, as well as single industry examples

might as well put this here, some “if this if that” thingy on monetary stuff: https://www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/monetizing-primacy/

(i think vassals will submit as they should tbh, there is no non-cia approved leader in all major pro-amerikkka economies, maybe that side of lula, but that’s changeable)

spectator still printed it

see how they run is weirdly twee and funny, shame they didn’t kill agatha tho, but can’t have all

i’m doing proletarian exploitation by pirating everything, so

i just watched it recently and oofie ouchie. (although big palestine on the map-flying thingy brought a smile)

(can you locate nearest potato shrine with your hand btw?)

Supply and demand are irrelevant to marxist framing (it’s all hidden in phrase “socially necessary labor time” - aggregate bag of everything society needs) of profit. Capitalist arrives at the scene, looks at the cost of inputs and workers and decides whether its profitable to do stuff. Because the only thing he can vary on production stage is price paid per labor (after all, cnc machine costs more or less the same - it’s fixed expense (constant capital or capex in modern lingo). if he cannot find a way to couple variable expense (price of labor) to the fixed expense to average expected profit rate, he just won’t start producing stuff. N.B. - that they are irrelevant doesn’t mean they aren’t real. Cute curves of demand mean jack shit for price of food, it’s inelastic or whatever. By marxist logic, porkies would produce food until they find acceptable return on investment, not until demand is satiated (which is why in imperial core everyone subsidizes agriculture, but that’s whatever). if the standard of roi was 50% you better believe they would watch you starve instead of expanding (see rents in usa)

Now, modern porky fights a lot of fights: can he remove regulations via lobbying? (e.g. chemical industry) can she lower wage, say by importing immigrant workers? (e.g. farms) can they ship out the production to other country? (e.g. mining) can they feasibly induce demand (create societal necessity of something)? (e.g. iphones) can they protect market share by paying off ad agencies? (e.g. coke) (most of the stories of modern daring capitalists are induced demand btw, nobody sings the praises of 3M ceo, before the 70s, it was more about reducing downtime (ford, mcdonalds etc)

but every single one of them wouldn’t get profit if they’ve paid the workers 100% profits back (obviously). after all, capitalist holds some pieces of electronic data that says they are obliged to part of profit and decision making, they can do jack shit all the time and still gets some proceeds from labor of 1000s people employed)

Hope unshackled by pretenses they become even more effective

achilles tendon is a weak point of wet human

is time even real? smh

Fastest draw in the east.

Why not do some kinda of nupes thingy with greens though? Too different infrastructure or goals?

if russia were based and/or not dumb, they would launch buckets of bolts on the low orbits

can mamdani finance guardian singlehandedly? didn’t think so

ufussy

i think implied tech was that the phones were emitting noises to be like mini sonars (which also works, but requires hacking the phones). At least there was some pinging animation, if i remember correctly

Tbh, tinfoil hat wearer (if interpreted literally) also refers to people struggling with health condition, but it maps so much closer to this scenario, while people struggling with schizophrenia are just not.

Being nicer it would be like “cybersec bros holding gun to printer undefeated”
