Yes, yes it does! Haha. I do need a trim. It does get annoying having a beard. It may be an advantage too though haha, to avoid ad hominem or specifically the fallacy of regarding wisdom as relying on age
Well here are some more mes, some older pictures at different times doing different things. Lol, some with a beard and some with a shorter beard. Haha… One or two without a beard. After a work out, can see my tattoo on my chest through my tank top lol didn’t notice before , some pics with my sisters, zip lining, at my old job some of them.
Replace two feet of fascia trim. Took me 10 minutes and 53 seconds. I made $3. Guess how much this nigga made. $18,950. Naw I’m bullshittin. He only made $72… but he made it while sitting his fat ass in a mcdonalds, so he made out okay.
Measly pay aside, that is life.
A job which is always required and the proper tools and skills for it is in a sense the ultimate thing to possess. It makes one a direct part of the universe.
I d wonder would you really rather be a carpenter in a Co op than own your own business?
Freedom to oneself is the advantage of ownership. Not having to have to be on careful terms with other members.of the same entity. Dependency…
We already have the Earf to worry about in that sense.
lol what i said was probably confusing, yeah. no, i work all day, but this particular company does repair and renovation work. in most cases the job is itemized; repair this door for x amount, repair this siding for x amount, add handicap ramp to deck for x amount, replace roof flashing for x amount, etc., etc.
so i can look at each particular item and get an accurate idea about how ridiculous the situation is. the company owner always way overestimates the time it will take to do a specific repair. he can do this because of how naive the home owner is. so the home owner is thinking $100 is a reasonable price for repairing x… and doesn’t know the actual costs (labor time and materials) would be about $25.
if the company owner were eliminated, the home owner would pay far less, and the worker would profit much more. that over inflated price is an estimation that includes the profit the owner wants to make… but what is the company owner doing in this equation - other than taking advantage of the home owners gullibility in quoting the price for the jobs? well, he isn’t doing anything… or i should say he isn’t doing anything a worker couldn’t do… and for far less money.
the company owner gets between the producer and the consumer here, and fucks them both. ever wonder why the credit system was invented? because when you combine the artificial inflation of sales prices in the market - this to create that extra profit for the capitalist - consumers run out of money faster than they make it (over priced commodities are bought with artificially under priced wages/salaries) - and yet the capitalist needs to keep selling to make his profits. solution; borrow the money to buy my shit.
now, the under paid consumer is buying over priced commodities and must pay interest on his credited money. this is equivalent to getting fucked three times.
why, though? why is this still happening in the world today? well because the world isn’t ready to stop it yet, apparently. the capitalist parasite is like one of those kinds that takes over the brain of the host and controls its thinking. a remarkably advanced parasite, to say the least.
It’s like fucked if I do and fucked if I don’t with you socialists. There are countries, like Venezuela, where workers can and DO go about directly dealing with consumers.
But so what does the gringo pay in those extra (regulation driven) $75?
He gets quality assurances, competency assurances, material assurances, best possible job assurances, no liability for safety of the worker. Whole buncha shit. The owner may just be sitting there, but he’s sitting on a BUNCH of shit. That YOU, the leftist, demanded.
I seem to have inherited the family’s native recessive gene, the Carib gene… it’s not a very friendly genome to own/to have, but it is ours to own/to have… so feeling all my native fam all around the globe on all the continents i.e. our every day feels.
In fact… I rarely smile, but often laugh, so more a laugher than a smiler, and either deadly serious or goofy as hell… there’s no middle ground with me, and never really has been, haha!
