This dude has been following me around the job all morning. Thinks he’s some kind of foreman or something.

Priceless.

So how does this work, he can hire you for just 10 minutes?

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.

But dog, but then why doesn’t he just do it?

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.

So what’s it gonna be?

Lol, not to mention, where in the fuck is some worker gonna get the cash for all the tools and material he is gonna need?

Best answer I’ve seen for this is Kropotkin’s medieval syndicates. And if you think THOSE motherfuckers didn’t gouge the end consumer…

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.

Lookin good Mags, lookin good.

I don’t like smiling in pictures… can you tell? :laughing:

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!

I don’t like smiling in pictures either, I laugh a lot more than I smile too. I just feel like if I force myself to smile that it’s a fake state of being, of which now is captured in image lol.

Well the stare of wickedness is just as cute/sexy as the smile of ‘innocence’. Hah

Yes… a fake instant of a forced state of being captured for eternity… how dire! :neutral_face:

I may quote that the next time someone asks me to smile. :laughing:

Well it’s the truth.

The beauty -is- the duality, too much of one side and one is either evil out of intent or pretentious/Not genuinely “good”. True balance comes from understanding both sides. Without dark there can be no light and without light there would be no dark to observe. Contrast is everything. The state of duality makes itself visible by being a contrast. Balance.

Nature is both wicked and nurture, for we live as it and craft our comfort from it.

Bank holiday Monday just gone, somewhere in Chelsea, eating and drinking stuff.


That photo shows your face really well so post more like it if you can

Some updated pics. At a pub/bar eh Mags?

Had a beard, then shaved it. The background looks like it’s moving or blurry because I’m the flash. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

…perhaps some don’t want to always show their face to the world, for the world then reacts, and what should the way we look matter to them?

It simply makes a dull world for ‘us’, but thanks.

…an eatery, with bar area, for pre or post meal drinks… took me a few days to get over digesting the brioche bun that the lobster was in, so won’t be revisiting that dish any time soon.

Where your pics at Art? did you delete them?
