Greetings good citizen, one of the basic principles of democratic capitalism is the quaint notion of 'mobility'.
To hear the sales pitch, EVERYONE is given the opportunity to create 'a better life' because capitalism allows you to 'chase your dreams'...unlike those other systems that are more focused on getting the job done.
Capitalism takes the 'nature abhors a vacuum' approach where if there is no profit in a thing then it is ignored as not being 'worth doing'. This leaves you with a lot of holes in your commerce system...holes that turn up in your standard of living but hey, for all its faults, the feckless boldly boast that 'more for me' capitalism is 'the best' (when it clearly isn't.) Capitalism is only marginally better (for the capitalist) than outright slavery.
Yes good citizen, even slavery has the 'downside' of being obligated to 'care' for the 'property'.
Capitalism is superior to slavery because all the capitalist 'buys' is the 'useful' part of the slave, otherwise the slave is on its own. If the slave gets sick and can't perform its duties the capitalist simply terminates them, problem solved.
Why the knotheads with the guns and badges think this is 'perfectly acceptable' remains a mystery. The fools act genuinely confused as to why the legislators have failed to make such lapses criminal. [Another obvious capitalist inspired 'hole' in your 'living standards' which NONE of the politicians are interested in fixing...even the ones branded as socialist!]
Oh well, once again we see that 'freedom isn't free' and we must take the 'good' with the 'bad'. [How fortunate for the capitalist!]
If you buy that one you're an even bigger chump than you know.
But (whump) there it is...
Is anyone surprised to read today's headlines regarding the significant drop in people physically moving to where the [non-existent] jobs (aren't)?
The economy and the job market has long been 'jaw-boned' [lied about] and it has led to the trust fatigue that is shredding the fabric of society.
Record low unemployment is achieved by torturing the facts, something the capitalist has never had a problem with.
The reality of the 'gig' economy, where becoming an uninsured taxi/food delivery service isn't wall to wall income when every jerk with access to a set of wheels is doing it too unintentionally sharpened the point on the lie that is 'more for me' capitalism.
How long will it be before the only thing left is mowing one another's lawns basically for free because the same twenty you made mowing your neighbor's lawn you had to pay your other neighbor who mowed yours, meaning your 'net' has dropped to zero.
How many lies do you need to swallow before you finally 'smarten up'?
Your great grandparents grew their own food, they didn't worry about making themselves 'useful' because nature doesn't swindle you the way an employer does.
Once again I admonish you to be mindful of why I end these missives where I do.
Later, Head.

ReplyDeleteWithout the 'division of labor' that provides for teachers and doctors we also wouldn't have bankers and cops.
Slavery made OWNERSHIP the tool of choice for those who decided work fascinated them to the point where they could WATCH it for hours!
We, as a species, must correct this outlandish criminal behavior and execute all who put their own comfort ahead of the welfare of our kind. It is an abomination!
