just the same fucking jobs only fer less

  kaps can exploit uz two ways

the easy way 
and
 the hard way 

and
 the difference
is the key 

to whether

in the dash
 for profit

there's also 

a dab of
   progress

============================


the diff ?


doing it
the hard way 

means
 actually 
making
or  serving
something 
a new way

a way 
that
uses
some combo
of  
less time 

and 

less skill 

and
the easy way ?

 find
a place
where 
you 
 can buy

 the same old 
set of  skills

only
 for less money 

a lot less money 

-------------------------------

the two ways

hard  and  easy 

 are 
of course

 siamese twins

and like
 all siamese twins

you can't
 seperate 
them 
with 
a simple
one blow hack


if done at all


it must be done 

stage by stage

carefully

and 

completely

===================
 where are we
 at 
in this post ?

well
since 
the hard way
 embodies
 the historic
 mission of capitalism


and a big part
 of that progress
 amounts
to skill stripping
the production  process 

 one gets 
 led
 directly 
to the realization

that
 
(despite
the grotesque 
horrors 
involved )

"if you save
 your skills

you retard 
your klass"**

-----------------------------------------------------------

pinky is really 
sorry
mr sweeney

butfuck
at 

the panoramic
 level

  rear guard 
save our
honest way a life  shit 

is pure
 sleep in tee pees
       foolery 
 

-----------------------------------------

 

its amazing
how 
the jolly 
print gang
iz
making its hay 
recently 
by 
 wacking  one feature 
of 
 easy side capitalism

job exporting

of course
they're
creating
the usual
 baby face v heel
  wrangle

its at once

a hand wringing
and a hand washing

 a silent
plea for decency 
on the way
 to buy 
some a dat
 shit mah self

 this time round 
its 

south asian/east asian
job migration 
they're
 exercised about 



 sure enough
its straight 

"same jobs for less "
shit 

and 
hey

 their right 
this is not
 progress
its just profit
 just
a  pure
rip off



then again
these same 
info-knights
 are 
nicely  stupid 
when they have to be

when  
the real nasty hows
 of 
 technical change
are involved
but need muffling

thats 
simple enough

just leave
their  cue cards 
 empty

then
the press  chorus 
can only wail
 
the oldest fucking 
 MORALITY PLAY
of all 

TO GREEDHEAD 
OR
 NOT TO GREEDHEAD

that JEJUNE
GONG RINGING
COMES
SPONTANEOUSLY 
 TO THEIR MINDS
 
besides
 the bare facts
never change

if 
press hounds 
want to rise
they better  
all become 
willful
idiots

big swing
  dead pull hitters 

looking for
 the shortest distance
to the fences
  
as a result
they end up 
 lumping 
this rip off stuff
 together 
with
the  simultaneous
skill stripping 
going on
right side of it

--------------------------------------
as a side light

nota bene 

sensibly enough

the  big time media
finds
sweating brains
 cleaner
 fun
 to report on 
then
 sweating hands

see
mickey
 they doooo  have a sense of ...


 lets face it
especially
 for patty  burgers
poverty's
 got 
 an absolute
dirty cryin shame   face  


thats why
they give us 

6k
  today
 in  bombay
 v
 80k 
 yesterday
 in san jose

it 
ain't
the grim crime 
mister mister's
committing 
when he's 
takin'

a  6 dollar  
 per hour
 away 
from  chief itch powder 
in 
sewer city south dekota 

and 

shippin   it  
to little miss
ling lang
over there in 
    wang dung flung 
   red china 

cause 
 her boss can
get  her
 to do it
for 6 dollars 
-------------
a day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 -----------
-------------------------------------------
at any rate 

the beat goes on

in fact 

 lets hop ahead here 
and do what I said needed 
doing

and start
 the siamese seperation ...

-------------------------------------
 welcome to 

 north pole 

and

south pole 

 

 the two houses of profit 
--------------------------------------------


 under kapitalism
technical progress
 works thru
a bipolar disorder

" it bringth forth
a plague 
and a grace
all at once "

in particular

the fucker 
regularly  
strikes

unsuspecting

ass hole innocent 

   job skilled
 nit wits

right in the teeth  

but 

thats part of
 the potential
 progress

now 
we got ourselves
a new batch of guys
 with idle
 time 
on there hands
 to sell

   if you step back 
far enough
to capture
 the whole effect

 you always see this 

more by less
means 
less for more 


then again
up close 
its an
uneven
  criss crossing 
  twofer 

put yer eyes one direction
and you see 
a lot of old skillers 
stripped

another direction
wow theres
   new skillers
 builtin'   up 

but 
left to its own mechanics

the value of 
the  down
will  always
 exceed 
 the value of the up

 of course
 it does
under cap  
why else would 
you do it ?
 =====================

i know i know 

given
the constantly 
uneven and shifting 
   dynamic
  of any real economy  

 isolation  
of the 
precise
quantitative effects 
gets hard 
they can get swamped easily 

and a knave or a fool can.....


but 
qualitatively

 all remains
 the same 
time after time 

shit its analytic 
 
at one pole 

you got
 the happy side

where
new skillers 
are being created 
or expanded 
 finding  themselves 
joining
 the" we be fat" legion

at the other pole

where 
old skillers
gather

its  just
go with the flow 

fall in with
the line of march
 of 
the great army
of the unwanted

( that is
once they face
reality 
 and 
 toss
their bag 
of useless old  tricks
into 
the job  compacter)
======================


this constant polarization

and repolarization

this 
creation destruction
creation destruction

looked at technically 
theres 
the new machine side 
and 
theres 
the new job side

thats 
progress
freed
 of its specific
 social signifigance  

 and technical 
progress
is headed blindly where?

 why 

to 
what else

the
"free labor"  republic

the future place 
most
 superstitious
fools 
amoong uz 
still
like to 
call by
its original name 

 paradise on earth
 

----------------------------------------------
and that

by the way 

is the very unsatisfactory 
 end 
of my
 progress today

stay tune 

-----------------------------------------------------
below here is 
dangerous  dribble 

an
 unvarnished klowning
 recap 
----------------------------------------------------------------

 tonites short subject :


let a million 
Dr Moreaus
contend

or

" americas
 one million
houses  of profit
are houses of  pain"
--------------------------------------------


 "one law 
for both
 the lion 
and 
the ox
 is tyrany " 

so
wrote
old  billy blake 
somewhere   

years and years later

 HG Wells

one of 
blakes
many many 
 bastard
grand-children
by way of
 charles the D 

created 
just such a tyrany 

 
  
the house of pain
on Moreau's island 


theme/concept


since
man is 
 the summit  
of all creatures
here below
whether 
frail or fierce

then 
is it not so
that 
one can 
define 
progress 
as   ever closer
"approachments" 
 to 
the human
" form "

Wells being Wells

gets a managerie 
of critters

 all the way
 to
humanoidia 

 thru
the able hands
of
 a little
 scifi  surgeon/ sorcerer
named
 doc moreau  
 
remaker of  flesh

then ha ha !
  
Wells
 throws in 
the spontaneous
forces of  reversion
 and ......

good stuff


---------------------------------------------
laughton's original flick
and 
brando's 
pope john
up date
 are both 
  not  half bad 


I like them 
better then
 wells own  
dried  jerky 
 prose rendition

as my painfully
morose
southern 
 gay
and 
rufus haired
 7th grade 
 english teacher
once 
said to uz

"mr Wells was 
a top shelf 
story man 
but 
not much
of  a writer "
----------------------------------------

Well's "emblamatics "

can be boiled down

and made 
real world operational 

by ruthlessly
following
up 
a common place
insight
Wells
 drops into
the  preface
to hiz little

" romance"

" the  human
 condition 
rebels against
all  human
  conditioning "
             


 indeed 
as he 
 goes on to write

"civilizing"

can be defined 
as   a sort of 

" mutual 
grinding 
away "

of our 
diverse natures 

 
 the better
  to 

" join each other
in   building 
our   common 
  condemnation "

 --------------------------------------

along these same lines

for most of uz
the main
marketable
 results
of this
" civilizing"
process

are
" manufactured "
by and 
apon uz

   not in 
some
 fucking
bright
little yellow
 skool house


but  
at our 
various
job sites
 inside
one of these 
 fuckin
 "houses of profit"
we got

where 
in exchange 
for  a fair wage 

" we be 
set to 
workin'
  the gainful  work 
that  besides
all else
reworks
uz workers 
  ourselves "

-------------------------
 unlike 
Moreau's
 house of pain


these
combo
houses of profit/pain
are  not 

 i repeat

 NOT

 one stop
fits all 

"we 
do you up
 human "

deals at all
  

no madame

you may
 go in
some sort a 
 whole personality
but
 after yer prefected
you start 
coming
 out
 a 
more or less
" valuable  fragment "
------------------------------
 there are 
 no small  wholes
 only small  parts
-------------------------------------------
 "a jobbling life
iz a senseless
but many stationed thing
a puzzle of 
 part after part
  fitting into 
some pattern  
to nowhere "
-------------------------------------------
 for 
 the millions 
of uz
who remain
  its 
 forced recruits

long before 
we reach our 
journeys end 

each job day 
becomes
 the same
 regress

" in the morning
I  report
to My job
and 
 for 
 8 hours
I  try to 
become 
a set of
value adding
 motions 
then 
when its over
 when 
the bell rings
I go  home
and
for a few hours
  be4 bed 
  I  live
 the life of 
  a  stomach"
   
---------------------------------------

despite their huge variety 
in cross section

these 
profit/pain  houses
have a simple
 one D
dynamic 

you can divide
 them 
conveniently 
if dynamically 
into two 
broad types

you got 
your
"up side"
 houses of profit

tending toward 
your north pole

these are yer 
santas
 work shop houses

happy happy happy 

and then

 you got 
your
" down side"
houses

tending toward
the south pole

tending toward

scrooge type 
houses
 of near pure  pain 

of course 
all these 
 come
 in various pacings
as well as the two basic directions

from 
slow  sinking
or rising
"croak pot "style
make over houses

to 
"extreme games" types 


but regardless of pace 

they all have
 this in common

if they're headed north
they
 specialize
in taking
otherwise  
useless jerks 

otherwise 
no value 
blanks 

and  by 
" Gilder magic"

they
bend and twist
and carve
 them 
into new type
 task doers 
that yield

two
"  useful "results

a marketable product
and 
a respectible surplus 


you know 
a house 
is committing
social progress

i e
is  headed north

 when
the results 
were 
never be4
squeezed 
out of such
 dim  and dull 
 human prospects.....

but the south bound freight

thats a horse of a different set of colors

and oh
by the way 


this world is no spheroid

its a pear

a pear 
with 
a nubby little
  northern top  
and
with a huge
 southern ass


-----------------------------------------------

now
 I'M REALLY
 braking off 

this is sloppy                 
 but it should be 

 its open source thinking 

and besides
i'm 
 feeling lazee
and dejected 

hopefully
i'll
 add to thiz
 later
or 
better 

maybe delete
the fucker

concentrate 
my thoughts

and
 start  again
from scratch
