  • It’s just not feasible to pay somebody an hourly wage when you can’t guarantee any work to be available for them to do at any given time.

    This is precisely why the concept of a grocery store, convenience store, clothing store, post office, tech support line, airline, pizzeria, or literally any other business is impossible to get off the ground.

    Gosh, I wish our society had commerce merchants but it’s just infeasible to provide any service that isn’t constantly guaranteed to be in use… even mail order services are a pope dream!

    Your point, if you didn’t catch on in the first two paragraphs, is so utterly and insanely wrong.






  • Wut? It is supremely American to think you can only talk to politicians if you have money… and only because so many other people are willing to purchase a slice of their time.

    I can just walk to Peter Julian’s office and, assuming I’m not rude, talk to him about something that matters to me. I’ve had conversations with Peter Welch and Bernie Sanders - I used to board game with a state senator. It it might be hard to get a lunch date with Joe Biden but politicians spend the majority of their time just talking to folks… it’s only when the rich can use their money to monopolize time that shit breaks down.
