life under actually existing capitalism continues; 

a unique combination of boring and stressful.

face it, i’m never going to be a hot porridge-man

i think trusts are somehow fundamentally immoral

for tax wheezes and to sneeze-on late diseases

build car washes and slag heaps on the green belt!

speed eden’s fall to it’s infernal conclusion

i don’t want to be too political, but i don’t like the world that much. i don’t claim to know how to fix it. but it’s just not that fun. work i mean. we spend years in training, like 13 years of school, then maybe college as well, you’d think we’d be like smart enough to make the world work without everyone spending most of their waking life just trying to keep on top of their emails.

an odd feature of actually existing capitalism, is that the essentials of life, you know, shelter, food, raising a family, entertainment… are priced as luxuries. lots of jobs just don’t pay enough to support such things. i don’t claim to understand economics. but that seems to me like an abject failure.
