Those free subs for life are exactly what you need when nobody will employ or rent to you. Frees up money for another parka or bottle of hooch to enjoy under the overpass.

businesses on campus had to be some percentage owned by a student, so subway convinced a guy to give up his personhood to be the human avatar of the corporation and enroll in the college so that they could sell their subs.

Surprised the actual number was so low actually. I guess the rest weren't quite so desperate.

Looking too deeply into anything related to ads, and especially into how many served ads actually hit real eyeballs, is the Thing You Must Not Do

As someone who's been peripherally connected to the internet ad space for a long time, it absolutely amazes me that this house of cards didn't manage to collapse before it became this big and this deeply integrated into absolutely loving everything.

Zodium is probably the best to ask but generally Marx's works are still top and not that hard to read

They're also different concepts, i wouldn't say one necessary leads to another. i'm very guilty of this but it's strictly important to note it's a tendency and that it has become a universal truth online is somewhat unfortunate because it's also a reductionistic take. it's actually a dynamic system of causes for crises that contribute to declining profit, not an orthodox. it would generally be more accurate to say crises lead to declining profit, not the other way around.

Consider that the sole driver of capitalism is the production of surplus-value that the vampire-likes lives off by sucking the living labor and the more it sucks the more it lives. Capital is then destined to squeeze every last center of profit from the unpaid labor of the working class, because it's core is that the more it can suck blood the more it lives. now a capitalist can do this in various ways: making the workers work more (longer shifts, ot, etc), speeding up the machines, creating new labor-saving machines, new studies of efficiency, acquiring cheaper raw materials, reducing worker benefits, etc. now with competition, capital has to invest in means to produce commodities cheaper than other capital, or squeeze more labor-power. So it's always an self-expanding process and the basics of accumulation of capital, or accumulation for accumulation sake. the basic idea being those capitalists where the productivity of labor falls behind the average close up or also try to squeeze more unpaid labor-power themselves.

It's the basic idea that then capitalists who introduce new machinery/techniques/etc that reduce the required labor-power (or multiplier on labor-power) then can sell their goods cheaper than the average gaining bigger profits than the rest and accumulate more capital. key importance however is we're on a global system, there were always "new frontiers" to exploit and "new frontiers" are ways for capital to rejuice the rate of profit.

But what happens when all the old infrastructure (be it machines, factories, or even people themself!) is no longer needed? take the obvious case of the Rust Belt. The Rust Belt was created because the infrastructures were no longer considered profitable (or profitable enough) relative to the genocides+coups that US did across the planet to open up cheaper labor markets and steal cheaper raw materials that capitalists can then use to make more profit on the market over the old techniques.

So you jettison them from production. But now you're stuck with infrastructures/people that are not worth keeping around, but that also (can) reduce the profits on the market place because if the masses are not paid sufficiently to procure commodities, the commodities that Capital is selling lose value. in the act of jettisoning the infrastructure, you also create a crisis of capital. Enter... The State.

The State comes in and absorbs the infrastructure (including the people). it's the old adage of socialize losses, privatize profits. This can be done in a number of ways (be it the arbiter of retraining, bankruptcy, taking ownership ala superfund sites, offering EBT/benefits to the masses, offering free money to banks to give out debt to the peons, etc) but the more The State has to take on, the bigger it's costs/obligations grow. So you print money. But this also has a knock-on effect for the capitalist and changes the dynamic of 'money'. A lot of US's 9999 trillion dollar military, federal reserve, etc is to ensure that printing money isn't detrimental to the capital class by either holding everyone up at gunpoint and/or making sure that Capital is equally getting on the money hose. Eventually though you have grown obligations and reached limits to grow/print (that it starts to detrimentally effect Capital) that another crises happens. This time one that requires the state to jettison it's obligations so it does not detrimentally effect capital. This jettison act can be... unpleasant, but the idea is once enough has been cut loose (such as sent to die in wars, turned into slaves, movements of people to cheaper maintenance levels, etc) that things achieve a level of temporary stability to the system again

zodium or others can probably explain it a lot better. i don't think that was very helpful and now I'm getting too lazy.

although not a marxist, JMG had a decent old piece on catabolic decline and onset, though there's lots of problems with these that i wont' go into. It's best to combine these with actual Marxian concepts about capitalism, and yeah go to Das Capital
