etalian posted:Another article on the Neo-Pinkertons quote:Another successful player in the business is Threat Management Center, run by ex-Army paratrooper Dale Brown. His 60-person VIPER force serves a client roster of over 5,000 private citizens and 100 businesses. Altogether, he said, the company brings in about $2 million a year. 2,000,000 / 60 = 33,333 (not counting operating expenses or executive salary, so). That's got to be 2 million in profit for ol' Dale, there's no way people will agree to be armed thugs for so little, right?

They make less than  an hour, to waddle their way from key-swipe checkin to key-swipe checkin. It would surprise me if these glorified security guards were doing much better.

I kinda liked being one, you rarely saw anyone other than other janitors and the security guard. Plus I got to hang out in the bowels of the buildings which were always neat, especially that one time I got the set of keys that let me into everywhere, and it felt like I was exploring in secret catacombs.

Speleothing posted:2,000,000 / 60 = 33,333 (not counting operating expenses or executive salary, so). threat management center is a training and consulting company, not a bodyguard or security company they do have a security guard program, but as far as I can tell, it's unpaid. people are literally volunteering to be security guards for them. to quote their website, they "are not an employment based organization". it also looks like they might contractually require people to do some unpaid work for them in order to take certain classes, or something like that it's a straight-up militia group with a veneer of respectability

aphid_licker posted:It's like we're experiencing a species-wide gradual onset of dementia well, my hypothesis is that the history of civilization is the history of organization. as people got more organized they were able to become more civilized (in the western sense). this what helped lead to the breakdown of vassalage and feudalism and lead to the growth of republicanism in western europe. basically: organization (radically expanded by industrialization, such as the printing press and the increased literacy that came along with it) + firearms (which challenged the monopoly on violence feudalism held) = increased self determination and "western civilization" but in our modern world, organization is breaking down as the "fabric of society" is being shredded by capitalist driven atomization and radical individualism. there is no structural support for our institutions in the form of an active, included foundation of citizenry so we're seeing everything crumble to poo poo from our institutions to our relations because the underlying organization is falling apart, leaving an inadequate system held up by increasingly militarized authoritarianism our society is getting dumber because its getting less organized and increasingly reliant on elitist technocratic authority instead of universal participation and inclusion

Why the gently caress are we paying so much for lentils?! How is steel so cheap to manufacture compared to beans? They grow on trees! Or vines or something. E: 'It is a bushy annual plant known for its lens-shaped seeds. It is about 40 cm tall, and the seeds grow in pods, usually with two seeds in each.' In case you were wondering.
