Race to The Bottom, by Winter Trabex

For a while now, mainstream articles spurred by Keynesian economic thought have decried that middle class jobs are disappearing. That is to say, those 40,000 dollar or more per year jobs upon which one could live, if not happily, then at least within a modicum of comfort. While automation and the new gig economy (in…

Charlottesville

I was going to write about Autopilot and finish my chapter by chapter review of it, but it seems irresponsible now. Now that protesters have not only been injured but killed by white supremacists. A full-on hateful mob with tiki torches and Nazis salutes at night and mowing down counter-protesters during the day. The paradox…

A Response to the Basic Income FAQ – In Five Parts (5/5)

(Nick’s Notes: You can find the previous post here, parts 1, 2 and 3 are there) Another post that comes close to the sort of objections I have about the universal basic income (UBI) is Santens post about the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). One thing I want to point out before I even respond to the…

Joaquín García is my Hero

…[S]ometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a hero, ’cause, what’s a hero? But sometimes, there’s a man. And I’m talkin’ about the Dude here. Sometimes, there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles. And even if he’s a…

Critical Thoughts on “Free Money”

No, nor the literal idea. Of course I want free money. If the Koch brothers came up to me right now and said, “Hey, here have some money no strings attached .” I’d be pretty skeptical of that claim but let’s presume it’s true. Would I take it? Fuck yeah. I mean, depending on how…

Inside and Out, Work Dominates Pixar

Let’s face it, most fan theories suck. It’s fun in our heads to come up with a lot of ideas about the universes we love so much. I’d love to imagine Finn and Poe from The Force Awakens having a gay relationship while Rey does her own thing. Maybe she even does solo-poly or some…

Stalin’s Peasants, by Sheila Fitzpatrick (Chapter 1)

When we last left our intrepid heroes we…Wait, no, that’s not where I am… Oh right, millions of Russians are being exiled, exploited, stolen from and murdered by Soviet power. Silly me, always getting fairy-tales and communism mixed up! Seriously though, I hope you enjoyed my summary and analysis of Fitzpatrick”s book in the last…

The Aspirations of Many: Work More!

My aspiration for the country—and I believe we can achieve it—is 4 percent growth as far as the eye can see,” he said. “Which means we have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours and, through their…

Work and the Case of Professionalized Respectability Politics

I’d consider myself relatively lucky as far as my current job and dress codes go. So long as I wear a pair of slacks (ink stains or broken buttons seem to go unnoticed or I manage to find half–decent ones), a casual dress shirt and look somewhat manageable I’m fine. Even my somewhat grubby sneakers…

Attack of the Superchickens!

Not too long ago Margaret Heffernan, a former CEO of multiple businesses, gave a talk during a TED conference about the “pecking order” of various businesses. Places where getting to the top, competing against one another, being the most productive and so on are valued above all else. There’s little (if any) time for talking…
