In a forbes text, the writer accepts that employers do discriminate financially against people who work for them the longest. More over, he also says that: “I don’t fault employers and businesses for the market because it’s their right and duty to maximize their profits.” While agree that there is no sense of morality within […]

non disruptive? because it is all for continual property exploitation. How can X entity, taco-bell/etc., continue exploiting customers, workers, society, politics, environment, etc. for its own profits to keep. (..and keep growing these profits.) Is this the conservative “turn”? http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/06/meet-taco-bells-resident-disruptor/373153/ http://uvaclubs.virginia.edu/blog/2014/06/creative-connections-jeff-jenkins-clas-99-resident-disruptor-taco-bell/
numerical exchange? or is it just a corrupt island – a where there is a sequence of covering practices between seeming intent (just people with concerns), driving intent (pay people to play as if they are concerned – ie no discussion possible because what they say they want is not what they really want or […]
a note – how does 1 bitcoin/dollar/euro/etc get to be more “valuable” than 0.5? there are 2 0.5 in the 1 – but 1 is more valuable than the 2. If we had voting like that then 1 person’s vote could be more than 2’s votes.. (assuming they happened to vote for 2 different parties. […]
Its a bit of a sketchy report – however, by the sound of it, the chinese rulers take artistic imagination very seriously. Perhaps I do have afterall something in common with these guys..
In Egypt there is an electoral sort of process going on. We are told its an election operation for the next president. The “leading” candidate, a guy that only a few months ago claimed that he has a special ear for the Egyptian population as he is not going to run unless he could hear […]
Last night I went to the brighton open rights group meetup with prospective meps. The parties that bothered to send mep wonnabes were greens, labour, libdems, ukip and tories. A bit of a shame because I hoped to check some other parties like yourvoice and the socialists.. Anyhow.. The whole event seemed very formal, with […]
in fact that is how fascism – as in state authoritarian capitalism – works? In a recent chat someone defined “rule of law” as the ability to discuss the law – rather than laws being altered, introduced, taken, etc. based on arbitrary decisions. I think its a rather weak definition because then the question of […]
Am collecting stuff to translate icelandic, japanese and brazilian portugese into one another.. Talking about this, a person asked a seemingly obvious question: why these languages? Now, I have certain reasons which seem to have been fine for that particular conversation. However: Am I sure these are reasons rather than dressed up excuses? Am I […]
The guardian, in an article about ukip’s racism, goes: Ukip, polling at 18% in the latest Observer/Opinion findings, said the party was “non-racist, non-sectarian” and that “any comments made by members that fail to uphold these values will be duly investigated and acted upon”. So.. ukip is declaring itself to be non-racist while evidently, having […]
attempting to intimidate as a way of masking its own fragility? Noticed the images from eastern Ukraine of the people attempting to re-kickstart a soviet republic, Donetsk as Donetsk People’s Republic.. Check stuff like: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-26919928 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/19/ukraine-donetsk-pro-russia-militants http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10775058/Ukraine-crisis-Inside-the-barricades-of-Donetsk-Peoples-Republic.html http://euromaidanpr.com/2014/04/07/updates-on-the-situation-in-eastern-ukraine-from-unian/ http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2014/04/ukraine-crisis-separatists-donetsk-people-republic-20144177535478448.html http://rt.com/news/donetsk-republic-protestukraine-841/ Is it not that one common visual prop is the use of flags and a […]
maybe not politics but simply brute power? Seems like for hosting the world cup / mondial in football/soccer, the 2014 hosts, Brazil, will at least consider adding some laws and make it easier for power to questionlessly arrest more people and call them terrorists. I think the fact the issue is being on the debate […]
Last night I went to jaffa for a promised palestinian coffee in a place that was r4ecomended as one of the best, cha-cha coffee. A place that seems to combine food and coffee in a room full of shisha smokers. Yes, it was kind of full. As I was looking for a place to sit, […]
To type here in any kind and manner of language/s – I have to deceive myself as to the range of my knowledge and possibly abilities. (Both in terms of language and stuff am talking re/about..( That deception, makes a sort of “gap” between claims for reality and the stuff that’s linked and shareable among […]
Here’s a bit of text from the Guardian’s g monbiot ramblings today regarding think tanks, “media” and tobacco corps: When the BBC was told that tobacco companies have admitted funding the IEA, the reasoning changed again. Now it argues that it would be wrong to assume “that an organisation adopts a particular position on an […]
Many people tell me the idea of going around palestine seeking artists to exchange with is a bit dangerous. Why? The reply is always to do with the complex makeup of Palestinian society and politics, never the occupation’s power, abuse of energies, and of intelligence. Yesterday a jordanian judge was shot dead by the occupations’ […]
of having to have powers? SEQUENCES OF POWER * I really do not want this power burden. But hey look, no one else it taking responsibility to use power and fix the problem. Now if I have to fix the problem, I’ll need to do stuff, reluctantly of course, and only for your benefit, but […]
