Teach A Man To Fish….

Teach A Man To Fish….

What distinguishes slave labor from free labor? Under slave labor the boss wholly determines the compensation of the worker. If he wishes to merely grant him or her enough to survive (in order to protect his own investment) he can. If he wishes to be extremely generous and to indulge them (which some slave masters did, especially for their favorite slaves) he can. Slave labor is therefore not defined by a laborer merely receiving a subsistence, it is defined by being entirely at the mercy of the master, regardless of what you receive. If you are taken care of handsomely but you have no say in the matter, you remain nothing more than a slave.

a worker is not the slave of the person who employs them if their labor  must correspond to some determinate value that is decided by outside forces rather than the whim of the employer. In a free society value is determined by the objective realities of the market. Who possesses more dignity? a very well kept slave or a free worker making a subsistence? For those with no regard for liberty, or who define liberty as comfort, it is the slave.  For the believer in liberty it is the worker.  The worker has a future, and one that he can himself determine by his own decisions. The slave does not.

If the state determines prices and wages it becomes the slave master; with the potential to be as cruel a master as any, as history shows us.   here…

Lunatic Fringe

Lunatic Fringe

The left has chosen groups it wants to exploit to create division in this country, they want votes and by backing the lunatic fringe they secure their support when election time comes around. The identity politics game they are playing is having a major side effect, people in this country are no longer “Americans”, they are splinter groups demanding new rights and laws.

Pick a group, any group that liberals support, and you will find a hatred for what America used to be and their vision of what America should be. It’s not their wish, it’s a demand, and liberal politicians are enabling those demands for their own selfish reason…… political power. It’s creating a divide that can’t be repaired.

That’s not the vibe of today. It feels like America is a fleet of ships lashed together for so long that no one remembers why they are lashed together. As the ropes begin to break, no one is trying to repair them. Instead. people are severing them so everyone can drift apart and go their own way. In the process, various madmen are setting fire to other boats and cackling like lunatics. Those who want to keep things together, just because that’s the way it has always been, are starting to think it is time to cut everyone loose.   here….

This won’t end well.

The Lines Have Been Blurred

The Lines Have Been Blurred

Sexual harassment and assault accusations are becoming a routine occurrence now, after the Weinstien story broke a few weeks back it seems every day some dumb schmuck has stuck his finger in it, (pun intended), and is being held to task in the court of public opinion. Nowadays that court finds you guilty under the premise if there’s smoke there must be fire.

Don’t get me wrong, I have no sympathy for the Kevin Spacey’s and Charlie Sheen’s of the world, they made their own beds and watching their world come tumbling down around them is the karma come uppins they deserve.

The bigger story here is the women, (or men), who are coming out of the woodwork against CEO’s, editors, politicians with decades old accusations that are difficult to defend against. It could be that some of them are looking for a pay day from whatever settlements their lawyers can secure, others may be getting paid to bring someone in power down, some may be real victims of a crime but the lines have been blurred. If your face is plastered all over the paper being accused of a crime back in 1962, you’re guilty until proven innocent, seems backwards amiright?

Now to my point. Women have flat out gone militant about equality in the workforce, they demand equal pay with equal opportunity, I don’t begrudge them that effort…..but……if I was in a position of hiring for corporate America, and in the current landscape of sexual harassment claims, I would tend to hire a man over a woman. That would lessen the probability of a potential problem down the road. It has nothing to do with qualifications, it’s more to do with math. If I have a bunch of dudes on staff, I don’t have to worry about them staring at a chicks cleavage or an off hand remark about how good she looks in a skirt.

I’m not saying women shouldn’t be hired, I’m just stating that all of these claims could have the reverse effect of women’s opportunities for employment, which is the opposite outcome for equality they desire, get the way I’m drifting here?

These are just random thoughts running through my college drop out head so what do I know. If these men are guilty of the alleged assaults then I hope they get what’s coming to them, if men are being sued for complimenting a woman on the color of her blouse, that’s another story.

If I’ve offended the sensibilities of the fairer sex with this post my apologies,  I’m just an old school guy who was raised in a different era I guess.
