the disrespect of manual labout trades in western europe, and the export of such trades to asia... yes, the day they realise that not all of them are models, or "artists"; well, luckily, there's the **** industry.

my grandfather was a communist party member,
a respectable citizen,
   he was sometimes called to be a member
of a jury... a hard gig to get into...

anyways...
                                      0 hour contracts?
  try building a career out of that...
      self-employment
and that fact that employers do
a pontius pilate on these people,
     sometimes not pay paying them,
  in most cases snipping their hard
earned wages?
       forget about a roofing retention
    (insurance, equivalent to a guarantee
you get when you buy a washing machine),
sometimes the ******* never
pay it out...
   you'll always get a
       *blondweibsbild
setting marching
orders...
                  the rat is biting their ***
         and they're still thinking of sailing...

me? like my grandfather,
      funny, he lived in a communist satelite
state, and yet... he managed to collect
a decent library of books...
          and enough records for his children
(my mother & uncle) to keep an interest
in music...
             yeah! imagine! having a personal
library in a communist "regime"...
  then again the russians were always
bigger readers than the americans...
the americans need to be spood-fed...
the "joys" and average joes of
     the audio-book format...
                       fair game if you're blind,
i have no qualms on that par...
        but unless it's not music...
      i find that listening to audiobooks
is just plain ****...
   self-****, *******...
                                         samogwałt...
0 hour contracts?
           no chance of a career?
     always at your "masters" bidding?

  the ejection of manual labour,
the slander against respectable professions
like carpentry?
           exporting it to the chinese?
   work as only based upon:
   fake smiles, fake journalism,
     lies lies and even more lies?
                  content products
  without the context of applied hands?

wow... designed in california...
  tag?          made in china...
made in china made in china made in china
made in china made in china made in china
made in china made in china made in china
made in china made in china made in china...

the same ******* itinerary of toothpicks,
barbie dolls, smart-phones,
televisions, radios, you name it...

when you've reached the billion mark,
i think you have exhausted the capitalistic
concept of a "profit margin",
   once you put enough 0s at the end of
your pay-cheque... you sort of have...
have, exhausted the idea of profit...
           i admit that capitalism is a sensible
system... and it was, with shining examples
like henry ford...
                       the reaction of the left?
hedonism? mirror image of what capitalism
has become...
   it has lost its sensibility...
    like i said, you can't really argue
the profit argument when you have
billions to "work" with...
                    evidently enough 0s in
the pay-cheque had to create
   the 0 hour contracts...
            wow! they lost a 0!
they lost a 0! from billions (1,000,000,000)
they revived the million
  (100,000,000)! one hundred millions!
i swear they just got bored
and said: ah, **** it...
a billion chinese, a billion hindus...
        titanic is sinking...
but we'll have a champagne jacuzzi
sideline view on a life-boat
                      watching the mutts drowning.
