Greetings good citizen, like yesterday's post, today's title requires some 'context' to fully understand the topic.
Lots of things are disposable but some of you are likely wondering what the 'economists' are babbling about when they touch on the topic of 'disposable income'. Your 'primary job' covers most of your living expenses and your 'second job' keeps the lights on and food on the table, your 'side hustle' is where your 'pocket/beer money' comes from.
You have to work two jobs if you don't have a license in something because the bulk of what's out there isn't 40 hours a week, leaving you with the time to do two not full time gigs. Since the primary gig hovers around thirty hours a week, the second is usually half that (if you're lucky) leaving the 'slack' to be taken up by the 'side hustle'.
Now we encounter the 'second part' of the term 'disposable'. People that need to work multiple jobs just to keep their heads above water are also considered 'disposable' by the people that refuse to pay them a living wage or employ them 'full time'. While they do the 'dirty' jobs the so-called 'professionals' refuse to do they are only tolerated by the college educated morons who fail to realize they won the lottery by having parents that would support them while they jumped through hoops pursuing their golden ticket to the GOOD LIFE a college degree PROMISES.
[Head Slap!] Remember Occupy? Of course you don't. Thanks to the media it was reduced to a bunch of privileged whiners complaining they got taken over the coals in tuition for jobs that didn't exist!
NewsFlash: College isn't about making you employable, it's like a movie theater where the business model relies on 'asses in seats!' It's not what YOU get out of it, it's what 'sells'. If you think somebody is going to pay you to read sanskrit, great! Pony up and the lecture hall is right across the quad!
This is where predatory economics meets dumb/ignorant adults who think...because they saw it repeatedly as they journeyed through the workforce (as they were being made 'redundant' every five years) that people with degrees...in ANY f'n THING were given jobs solely on the basis on the fact they had a degree and not what that degree taught them.
Like all the 'new math' you were taught in elementary school, once you enter the 'real world' you never use ANY of it. Tradesmen use 'bits' of it and engineers use it constantly but we aren't ALL engineers, are we? [Even engineers rely mostly on add, subtract, multiply and divide...seldom do you 'find for X'.]
While your math skills point to your problem solving abilities, if you aren't spoonfed the variables most of you don't have a clue what you are looking at.
WITH THAT AS A GIVEN, the knotheads running things have ZERO 'understanding/appreciation' of the toll DEBT DRIVEN SOCIETY is taking on the planet.
The oceans oxygen level is dropping rapidly...you don't suppose the 'recently discovered' link between Big Agra's favorite herbicide [which washes off the treated fields and into the oceans...] and cancer in humans is also killing off the oxygen producing fauna in in the oceans?
The rabid capitalist will deny it to their grave but that doesn't mean it isn't true.
Humanity NEEDS to unite and put an end to the MORE FOR ME bullshit while there is still a planet worth saving.
Your kids are already facing the prospects of a 'dead world'. Germs, Guns and Steel shows us the results of rapacious campaigns to 'conquer the weak' and rape the land for all it's worth...and f'n GOLD IS WORTHLESS!
Like the idiot slogan, "The one who dies with the most toys wins!'
Is THIS who is leading us?
We can do better via sustainability.
Either we cooperate or we shall perish making some ingrate rich...for nothing.
Later Head,
