| Funny that, but I’ve worked at many places that definitely didn’t make a profit! And some that definitely did. Taking risk, organizing and figuring out things in a way that is focused and works, and tying the parts together so the sum is greater than the parts is what makes most businesses profitable. Are some companies run or managed by exploitive assholes? Sure. Are some folks doing labor exploitive assholes? You bet. But it’s always more fun to tear down those who have what we don’t and blame them for every problem and isn’t it? The paychecks came regardless, or they learned that labor has its own power too. Never felt exploited about it either, and moved somewhere else or just took a break and did what I wanted if I started to feel like it might be. We don’t really need all the trappings we often convince ourselves we need, and it’s a lot lighter without them. And never once starved for it. But then, I’ve had to dig trenches before and change diapers and didn’t get paid for that, but then family is pretty communist that way. We all have to make our way, one way or another. You’re welcome to look at life as harsh and nasty as you want, but you reap what you sow. And that outlook is sowing very bitter seeds indeed. |
