@arclight @bitsavers I'd love to see a book about how MBA ideology took HP from a world-leading engineering firm to little more than a overpriced printer-ink scam.
You shouldn't be afraid of revolution, you should be afraid of the lack of it. How many have lived entire lives of toil while never lifting a finger in revolt against the violent chains which keep them shackled? Most. I think. How many lives have been wasted under the boot of the oppressor? How many millions are going unhoused and unfed while the owning class have so much money they don't know how to spend it?
Also
Have you met any kids?
They spend their lives on stuff that isn't "relevant" and have a great time being kids.
Isn't that the point?
The recent push to give careers advice to 5 year olds is a vile idea.
I have a maths degree
I get tired of the "why not teach something relevant" crowd
Critical thinking is more important, and actually being able to look at figures, know what confidence limits are, and know how stats can be twisted by the unscrupulous would be useful is part of that.
Relevance could be life skills that teach you to literally read between the lines, and maths is right in there, if it was properly taught.

Sorry about the real-terms pay-cuts everyone, we can't afford to give you any wages because we've raised interest rates which means we have to give all the money to the bankers again.
So it has to be recession and poverty for the lot of you. Sorry.
My advice would be to get a job as a banker. Their bonuses are going to be incredible.

#ukpol - anti-strike laws
I reckon if the right to withdraw your labour is removed you have no choice but to immediately resign.
If a nurse is legally required to do nursing, then they should stop being a nurse-slave and become an unemployed-freeman.
Surely the whole of the NHS and all the train staff should just quit entirely, en-mass, if anything like these proposed laws actually pass?
The fact that the press is barely even questioning the legality of these kinds of moves speaks volumes about how captured they have become.
Wonder if it would even matter if it was Journalists that were being turned into slaves legally required to do their job?
They'd be fucked if that happened, none of them seem even remotely *able* to do their job properly. They'd have to all go to jail.
"discipline" is overrated. it's exhausting and unsustainable. what's the alternative?

This is hilarious in a bad way
If you sack them, Sunak, who is going to do the job when no-one wants to do it already?
Pay them properly, sort out the chronic lack of resources, and sit down, fool.

A country where you cannot strike.
A country where you cannot protest.
No, this is not North Korea, this is the plan for Tory Britain.
