My opposition to America has reached the point that the only reason I dont blow up buildings is because I dont believe it would be effective.

Seems kinda nuts to me that the storefront which used to be a Verizon has sat empty for two years. But the people who own the building have figured out they'll make more money charging high rents and having some empty units than they would make if they'd charged reasonable rents and had all the units occupied.

That's basically manufactured scarcity.

The telescope, the compound microscope, the barometer, the printing press...

There was an explosion in technology around the 1500s, about 200 years before capitalism got started. That explosion continued for the next 500 years, but we've given all the credit to an economic system that barely existed half the time the boom has been happening.

it's like if I showed up to your house, stayed an hour and then said "I built this!!"

I am opposed to communism, but the level of sophistication between the average communist and the average capitalist is an oceanic gulf. The communists are measurably better people.

Something about 'professionalism' irks me. It seems it's all about pretending you're not a person. (Interesting, then, that it also resembles 'behave like those who have power.')

Now I'm not saying you talk about how much you dislike someone to their face. But to me, much of that would fall under courtesy.

Professionalism is a different thing. You're not merely expected to abstain from certain behaviors but also to put on a face.

Chattel slaves were punished for not having signs of visible submission. So: looking cheerful when expected, not showing fatigue or irritation, not acting appropriately deferential, and so on.

Today we call that "professionalism." But I wonder about its function.

At work ill take minor pains to save paper (among other things.) Ill save maybe 5 sheets a day.

Had a customer order 1000 pages and never pick them up. Straight into the trash. A year of my conversation voided by one person who doesnt care.
