Here goes another week of making money for the worst of us.
Here goes another week of making money for the worst of us.
Today I was coming off a lovely 2 week vacation (my first break for more than a week in several years) but on Friday I got a Monday morning meeting invite set for 30 minutes before I usually start for the day. It was just a little taste of work crap to make sure the office was on my mind all weekend.
My strategy is to not look at work emails outside work time.
You can neither attend nor be stressed about a meeting that occurs earlier than you start work, if you don't know it exists.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Then rich can afford to protect themselves, we can't. We lose in that conflict. Whatever freedoms you think you have now will be restricted in a society where the rich are worried about their safety.
They don't lose anything. In fact, I bet it's even convenient for them to have reasons to build cages around everyone. Lots of money in building survellience, tracking people, spying on people.
The initial state of that has begun with Google but it's not going to end. Decades from now, it's possible that people will envy that previous generations could use the internet without identifying themselves, or go into buildings without a retina scan.
This is literal cope propaganda for the rich.
We are hundreds of years from AI that will meaningfully replace the jobs of the poor. Or meaningfully protect the rich.
No person alive today will be able to live without depending on other humans.
it didn't protect the nobility of France, the royalty of Russia or frankly anyone in Cambodia
That's the thing though, if they turn things into an overt police state against the masses, they'll start losing the current ignoramuses who still think everything is fine.
If they escalate, they give their exploited capital batteries reason to escalate. Part of their whole grift is convincing their victims that we're a society and that class war is unseemly. Retina scans, armed security, and bars between us and them makes them look even more like the enemies of the people. Please escalate, oligarchs, we need more of your rubes to see who you are more clearly.
This dystopia of propaganda based servitude where they use their media to turn us on one another using social wedges to maintain control only continues to work if they don't start looking like the Corpo fascist empire that they are.
Oof, that’s old-school Jeremy Allen White from Shameless
Lip!
FYI, few must work for the "worst" people. It takes time to shift to a new job, so start today. (Souce: once worked for terrible people.)
(It is still rough to get back to work after a holiday.)
Making money for the worst of us is a delightful turn of phrase.
