Mr. Lobe posted:the precarity of the working class is to the tactical advantage of the ruling class. the more threatening our material conditions are, the more desperate we are, the easier they can squeeze what they want out of us. This is also why the business class fiercely opposes single-payer healthcare, even though it would be a direct cost-savings for any business outside of insurance or healthcare.

With our machines the new potential of industry and agriculture is near limitless. For now, we have suffered. But this war was born of our greed, as all wars. Greed for land, greed for resources, for markets, and for old hatreds. But we have upon us the power to transcend these things. When machines can produce more clothing than we could ever need, when farms can produce more food than we could ever eat, when we can build up to the sky upon our land instead of forever spreading, are not these things obsolete? What need will there be to fight for that which all men have in abundance? What man will covet his neighbor's property when both have material wealth beyond our dreams? This may not come to pass in the span of our lives. But perhaps, within as little as one hundred years, the advance of technology which has so recently wrought such suffering upon us, may instead be our salvation. Perhaps then, all humanity can put aside war and conflict, and live together in the harmony of abundance. 2018: Curing sick people is not a sustainable business model.

I have truly never seen anything like this, I've heard about warehouse automation but had never actually seen it in action to this extent. ********** While watching some videos about automated warehouses I found this, which made me laugh because it feels quite factual and honest until just after halfway where it becomes a pseudo advertisement, then literally ends as one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyohSu-Ft_U

It's hypocritical as gently caress though, as per usual with Russia, because they're the ones promoting far-right extremism in Europe and the US to destabilize the west.

 This is how all my Amazon deliveries look now. It isn't a box of coke or coke products either. The printing on the box means the local ward won't recycle it like the normal boxes.

Haven't seen that one in the facility, but we've got multiple loving variants of Grinch boxes and still have some Ninja Turtle boxes floating through too. The Jack Ryan boxes all stopped showing up though.

Mr. Lobe posted:yeah, it is one of the things I was also thinking about, I wonder what's stopping the police from just wiping out the favelas the way the US does the tent towns of its major cities. I imagine at least in part, it's because a lot of the manual labor sao paolo runs on probably comes from the favelas, so they have some bargaining power to at least maintain that tiny bit of stability and dignity that is their continued existence. because the homeless of the US generally are not part of the work-force, the ruling class considers them more disposable. During the depression, Hoovervilles existed as a kind of proto-favelas and remained until enough people managed to get employment again. I assume the reason favelas continue to exist despite the police's ire is because there is a ton of firearms and pissed off poor people in those favelas that Brazil's police are kinda scared of. I would guess that once enough of the homeless and poor have guns and anger that Hoovervilles might make a comeback. Especially since the cost of housing and rent continue their uncontrolled rise and people eventually become displaced by climate problems like flooding in Florida and fires in California while insurance figures out how to not get them their homes back and they lose their jobs because they had the audacity to have needs.
