Multiplicities In Paradise

T here likely is an American dream, some sort of aspiration hidden in an old coffee can buried somewhere beneath the grave of Thomas Paine.  But there is also an American nightmare, an empty, cold, heartless, mundane banality sucking the life force from all it encounters. America is not without virtue mind you, but its people have been, and remain dangerously hypnotized. L ong before Trumpism,  and it's associated demise of decency, honesty, and intelligence in public matters turned us into a nation of cretins and morons; the decline of the empire was well under way. A fair warning dear reader, most people who write about the dystopian nature of a society will try in the end, to offer some hope of redemption. This is not what you'll find here. If you're looking for a "feel good" uplifting piece that offers some pie in the sky remedy with a happy ending, you'll not find that here. I can not honestly be optimistic in this regard. There's a f

The Production Manager  A s we stated previously, the production manager is the best position in a capitalist world. However occasionally the production manager will be expected to perform some task beyond intimidating and demeaning the dregs...er...I mean workers.

Here's the situation: You need to hire a new machine operator and the choices are going to be few since the only people who fill out an application for your shitty company are either crazy or desperate for work. Employees that couldn't get a job anywhere else are loyal and easily manipulated. Even the local Malwart store fired this guy. He'd be a great candidate! Potential Employee “A” Interview He's Some middle aged guy who's been running the same equipment used by our company for 20+ years. His previous employers have paid him the top tier for this position but ended up laying him off  after a hostile buyout, or going out of business. The guy appears smart.

  T he magic of capitalism begins with a long line of business owners dating back to the middle ages. There is no denial that capitalism has played an important role in mankind's development. It ended feudalism when Lords and Ladies became dependent on merchants in towns to supply them with trinkets and baubles. Peasants, who were once a critical cog in the medieval despot's wheel of  repression instead became cogs in the newly wealthy merchants wheel of repression...a vast improvement! Owners - Bosses Aside from stealing and looting the poor, they purchase the government and have an invisible hand in the pants of all large corporations. They also enjoy racial oppression, opposing every type of justice in existence, and setting fire to puppies and/or impoverished African children. I n today's modern business world, it's likely, that the boss (see photo above) is some complete moron who inherited a business or bought business with inheritance
