- Comment on If college is a scam, where do you go to get better education? 5 days ago:
I really hate to break it to everyone. But even with all the capitalist fuckery in the job market, the second most reliable determinant of where you’re going to go in life, is your level of education.
First of course, is how much money and social status your parents have.

- Comment on My people need me 2 weeks ago:
Seems to me you can handle it one of two ways.
One, you can punish the boomers. When Z gets in power, abolish pensions, Social Security, and Medicare. Let the old die from poverty and disease. And then you yourself won’t have any safety net when you’re that age.
Two, you can focus on the class struggle. Focus on weakening the billionaires who control us and who made up this bullshit in the first place. Target income inequality, access to services, and draconian employment practices. Begin the century-long transformation of capitalism. This is the harder road.
So which one will do more good?

My Silent Gen parents packed the entirety of their priceless antiquarian book collection, and spent a bundle sending it to their book dealer friends in the UK. All to keep their “ungrateful children” from getting it.

Bloody Vikings.
- Comment on Mental health professionals rarely allow you to talk about the socioeconomic factors too 2 weeks ago:
Blaming the individual for social problems is big business. Frank Freeway is burned out and angry from a two hour commute to a dead end job with shitty pay, mandatory weekends, high deductible health care, and draconian bosses. Meanwhile, his kid’s school funding has been cut and high prices are breaking the finances.
So Frank’s boss complains that he’s not happy-smiley at work, and sends him to a shrink who tells him he’s ungrateful, and prescribes powerful antidepressants. So, hey, the psychiatry business makes money as long as everyone blames the individual.
- Comment on Minimum Wage Must Cover Basics 2 weeks ago:
In 1978, DJing at a small town daytimer, I made 70 cents above minimum if you don’t count all the mandatory unpaid OT. I kept an apartment, ate OK, had a cat, paid my utilities, and was able to take my new girlfriend out on weekends. NO ONE could do that now. Also, my parents had given me a year of cable as a gift.
And the problem is not with the individual. The problem is that capitalism is working exactly the way it’s designed to.
