Well fortunately for us the tendency of the rate of profit is to be fine, so there's not any pressure to intensify the rate of exploitation by driving wages as close as as possible to the minimum requirements for a worker to stay alive.

This brand of Christian literally believes everyone thinks this way. That secretly we all want to kill each other and have only the most threadbare logic keeping us from doing so at any moment. After all, if God won't torture you forever for doing something wrong, how is anything wrong and why would anyone not do the horrible murder torture fantasy these people have in their brain at all times?

Watching Moneybags lead the seller of labour power out of the market and into the private sphere of production with a "No Trespassing" sign on it like:

Also that value isn't being created, even if you're able to extort people for an unreasonable price. The surplus you generate from arbitrage is just stealing from those people, that value already existed and was collected in one place by market conditions, but no new value was brought into the system through an exchange. The total value remains the same at the end, so trade alone can't explain where more value is coming from.

Just found this the other day, I had heard of Fleck before but this blew me away.

What do you want to play? That might make a big difference in terms of advice.

If you're at all into folk music you might see if there are any regular jam sessions/jamborees in your area. I was taught to play orchestral instruments but more or less self taught a bunch of folk instruments by going to jams. You'll run into people of all kinds of skill levels and can play in a low pressure setting where mistakes won't draw a lot of attention. They're often older folks too, so they appreciate the socializing and engagement in my experience.

Yeah but he's supposedly starting ketamine therapy soon. Might mellow him out.

I'm out of the loop, are many children wearing fursuits to school these days? In Oklahoma?
